The Chippewa Falls School Board chose Fox River Consultants, Inc. out of Packwaukee to assist in the district’s superintendent search.

Fox River Consultants is the same group which was used in the district’s 2003 search.

Superintendent Mike Schoch announced mid-November that he would be retiring at the end of the school year.

The board will meet with Fox River Consultants in early January to schedule the rest of the process, and Schoch said the job should be posted before Christmas.
