Slotterback Left Off Burnsville's Finalist List for Superintendent Job
Richfield superintendent interviewed for the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Public Schools' position last week, but was not named as a finalist for the job.
Two of the five candidates for Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Public Schools' next superintendent have been invited back for the final round—and Richfield's Dr. Robert Slotterback isn't one of them.
Slotterback was named a semifinalist for the position April 1 and interviewed for the job Wednesday, April 3.
"I was flattered that [the board] wanted to interview me," Slotterback told Richfield Patch last week. "But, I'm at the point in my career where I have to make sure it's a good fit for me, and [the district]."

"It’s not that I am in any way unhappy with my situation here at Richfield," he added. "I think we’ve all worked very hard and we've done some great things."
The two finalists are Darren Kermes, executive director of two educational cooperatives in Scott County, and Joe Gothard, assistant superintendent of the Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, according to Burnsville Patch.
