The NELSD Board of Education approved the hiring of Jack Fisher Thursday to be the district’s new superintendent, according to a NELSD spokesperson.

Fisher replaces Steve Linson, who was the interim president following the resignation of Dr. John Kronour.

As News Center 7 reported back in March, Linson took over after Kronour left to take a position with the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

Linson served as interim superintendent through the end of the school year.

Fisher will begin his transition this summer, the district said.

“I am honored to be selected as the Superintendent for the Northeastern Local School District,” he said in a statement. “I appreciate the Board’s diligence and integrity during the entire search process. I am anxious to get started in supporting all students and all staff in the district.”

He officially starts on August 1.
