The Plymouth-Canton Board of Education selected a replacement for outgoing superintendent Jeremy Hughes, whose contract ends in June, reported the Observer & Eccentric.
In a six-to-one vote, the board decided to offer the job to Michael Meissen, the supervisor of school improvement and student achievement for Milwaukee Public Schools in Wisconsin.
The board chose Meissen over the only internal candidate Brodie Killian, the district's executive director of business services.
