The Englewood Schools Board of Education has chosen the district’s next superintendent: Chatfield High School Principal Wendy Rubin.
The board’s selection was announced last monthbut contract negotiations with Rubin have not yet been finalized, according to an .
Rubin is slated to take the place of departing Superintendent Brian Ewert who was to take the top job with neighboring Littleton Public Schools.
Contracting with the Englewood Schools employed a focus group of about 50 residents, parents, teachers and administrators to determine the qualities they wanted to see in the district’ next leader.
The Englewood board interviewed two top candidates before announcing Rubin as its choice.
“On behalf of the board, I want to thank all those who participated in focus groups and advisory interview committees. The input was highly valuable to our process,” Board President Duane Tucker said in the news release.
Rubin has served as principal of Chatfield for the past four years, according to Englewood Schools spokeswoman Julie McGinley.
She had prior experience both as a principal and an assistant principal in other schools in Jeffco Public Schools and Aurora Public Schools.
Rubin has a doctorate in education from the University of Colorado Denver and a master’s degree in education from the University of Illinois.
