The Herington USD 487 school board is set to interview outgoing USD 489 superintendent John Thissen tonight for the superintendent job, according to the district’s website.

Thissen resigned from the USD 489 job earlier this year citing personal reasons.

Thissen is in his third year as superintendent at USD 489, but his previous position was at Herington where he served as superintendent for nine years.

He is the final of four candidates for the position to be interviewed for the position.

In a twist, the superintendent position in Herington is being vacated by Ron Wilson who has been hired as the superintendent of Hays USD 489. Wilson will take over in Hays July 1.
