.Ridgefield starts school chief search

The company hired by the Ridgefield Board of Education to help search for the new school superintendent — the Chicago-based Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates — will hold two public forums in March to discuss their work.
The forums will be held Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall Annex on Prospect Street and Friday, March 14 at 10 a.m., again at the Town Hall Annex.
The company will also conduct on-line surveys of the community before and after the forums.
The board is looking for a new superintendent after the current superintendent, Deborah Low, announced in January that she’ll retire at the end of the current school year.
