Skylar Rispens The decision to reopen the search for a superintendent of Missoula County Public Schools came as a shock to some. But Missoula isn't the only district in the state searching for a new leader. There are 24 districts in Montana seeking superintendents for the 2023-2024 school year, and so far only seven have been filled, according to the School Administrators of Montana organization. And the turnover rate among superintendents, as noted by the same group, has risen from 16.5% in the 2019-2020 school year to about 25.
