Pioneer School Districts hire new super

---

The Pioneer School District Board of Directors unanimously voted to hire a new superintendent Tuesday following an extensive search.

The board selected Martin A. Brewer, the current

principal at Lewis and

Clark Elementary School in Richland, Washington, to lead Pioneer. Brewer also currently serves as the Director of Gifted Programs for grades 3-5 for the Richland School District.

The school board

interviewed four finalists for the superintendent post on April 29 and the candidates

also toured the district and met with students and community members.

Out of those sessions, Brewer emerged as a clear favorite. He is slated to take

office on July 1. Pioneer's current superintendent, Dan Winter, meanwhile, is headed to Montesano where he will run the K-12 school district.

Brewer comes to the district on the heels of two unsuccessful bond campaigns and will face tough facilities and funding issues.
