Clive Coleman named new Riverview Gardens Superintendent
Stakeholders in the Riverview Gardens School District will have a chance to meet their new superintendent, Clive Coleman, Friday, March 5 at Westview Middle School, 1950 Nemnich Dr., when a reception will be hosted from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, the Riverview Gardens School Board voted to hire Coleman as the district’s new superintendent, passing over the other finalist, Grayling Tobias.
Coleman’s three-year contract (at an annual salary of $165,000) will begin July 1.
“Dr. Coleman’s experience as a leader in a school district with similar challenges to ours gives us confidence that he will bring visionary leadership as we continue to work toward regaining our accreditation,” said Board President Tommie Pierson.
Coleman has served in the Kansas City (Mo.) School District as an associate superintendent, chief academic officer and interim superintendent. Prior to Kansas City, he was the high school education officer in St. Louis Public Schools. He spent the first 26 years of his career as a teacher and principal in New Orleans Public Schools in Louisiana. He currently serves as a consultant for Stanford University.
“My number one priority is regaining state accreditation,” Coleman said in a release from the district.
