The contract, signed on Feb. 6 and ratified by the Board on Feb. 10, will run July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018. Davis will receive an initial annual salary of $200,000.<\/p>\n<p>Davis\u2019 appointment concludes a thorough and deliberative search conducted by the Ferguson-Florissant Board of Education with assistance from national executive search firm PROACT Search.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal for the Ferguson-Florissant School District is to do everything I can to assure that our children are successful \u2013 both in school and in life,\u201d Davis said regarding his appointment. \u201cThis is an outstanding district and I am proud to be a part of helping shape the future of Ferguson-Florissant students.\u00a0 I also look forward to working with the families of our students and the community at large to continue to improve our district so that we can do even more to benefit kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Davis, speaking at a press\u00a0conference last week at the\u00a0administration building, said that success as the leader is about \u201cbuilding relationships with the staff, parents and public.\u201d Having been a principal, he is a strong advocate of supporting them. \u201cGreat principals were great teachers,\u201d he said. Davis and his wife and their 9-year-old son plan to live in the district.<\/p>\n<p>Board President Robert Chabot said Davis has the attributes the board was seeking in a new superintendent and the entire board felt he was the most qualified of the two finalists. The other was Dr. Bryan Davis, a superintendent of schools for the Columbus (Wis.) School District.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, Joseph Davis cares about kids.\u00a0 Combine that with his experience and leadership skills, and we are confident we have chosen the right person to lead our district,\u201d Chabot said. \u201cThe board is very eager to work side-by-side with him as we strive to continue our pursuit of educational excellence for the students, families and community of Ferguson-Florissant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The district has operated with an interim superintendent Lawrence Larrew for more than a year since the suspension of superintendent Art McCoy and his eventual resignation last March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0By Bob Lindsey The Ferguson-Florissant School\u00a0District Board of Education last week introduced Dr. Joseph Davis as the new superintendent, effective July 1.
