FORT SMITH - The Fort Smith School Board has picked Doug Brubaker as the new superintendent for the district. The 21 year educator comes to the area from Garland, Texas where he is currently an associate superintendent.
The board had narrowed their search to Brubaker, and also Mike Roth, who currently serves in the same post at the Leavenworth School District north of Kansas City.
Brubaker told the board on Thursday that he would like to start in January. He will move to Fort Smith with his wife and four year old daughter. The position was advertised as paying $210,000, although the compensation package has not been finalized as of this week.
