How this works

We flag stories whose headlines report a superintendent being hired or named, leaving, placed on leave, appointed on an interim basis, or named a finalist. Several reports of the same move are shown once, with every source. It is automatic, so it can miss a move or include a near miss. Send us a move we missed.
