TAMWORTH — Dr. Michael Whaland — the superintendent of SAU 13, which covers Freedom, Madison and Tamworth — is a finalist for the superintendent’s position in SAU 45 in Moultonborough.
Whaland, 42, who lives in Center Harbor, said this is the only job he has applied for since joining SAU 13 five years ago. It’s an opportunity for him to work closer to home to his wife and two young children.
