Rochester, MN(KROC AM News) - The Rochester School Board has started the process of finding a successor to Superintendent Michael Munoz, who is resigning at the end of June.
The board Tuesday agreed to seek proposals from search firms to find an interim successor. It’s expected the person will be hired for one year.
