Food on the Move
The Grandview R-II Board of Education has partnered with the Missouri School Boards’ Association (MSBA) to assist in the search for a new superintendent to replace Mr. Matt Zoph, who will retire at the end of his current contract.

At a special board meeting on Wednesday, August 20, the Board met with the MSBA search team—Dr. Joylynn Pruitt-Adams, Pam Frazier, and Jenny Ulrich—who will guide the process of recruiting, screening, and interviewing potential candidates.

The Board and MSBA are committed to a transparent process that values input from staff, parents, and the community. Opportunities for community feedback will be available through online surveys (link will be released very soon) and a public forum on October 7 at 7:00 pm.

You can see the official posting on MSBA's website by following this link: https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/3136/MSBA/6002908/Grandview_Super_Posting_08.22.2025.pdf
