Bakersfield R-IV School District is seeking an exceptional educational leader to serve as Superintendent of Schools beginning July 1, 2027, for the 2027–2028 school year. This opportunity is available due to the retirement of a long-serving superintendent.
Bakersfield R-IV is a small, but mighty district with a strong tradition of innovation, academic excellence, community support, and commitment to student learning. The Board of Education is committed to conducting a thoughtful and thorough search to identify a leader who is aligned with the district's values, culture, and long-term vision for continued excellence.
Applications are being accepted until November 2, 2026. For more information contact Dr. Amy Padgett at apadgett@bakersfield.k12.mo.us or 417-284-7333.
