Heuer Not Offered Toledo Superintendent Position

UPDATE Tuesday 7:40 p.m.: Patch received and added comments from Angee Shaker.

Cleveland Heights-University Heights City Schools Superintendent Douglas Heuer will not be offered the position as interim superintendent of Toledo Public Schools, The Toledo Blade reported Tuesday.

Heuer was one of two finalists and up against the district's own assistant superintendent for the position.

District spokesperson Angee Shaker noted that Heuer was not actively seeking employment outside of the district, but was approached by a recruiter for the Toledo Public School system, a large district that he felt was worth exploring.

"His focus continues to be on the needs of this school district. As long as he remains at the head of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, he will serve our students and community well," she added.
