The Northridge Local School District Board of Education announced that Brian Blum is or will be retired from his position as Superintendent under the State Teachers Retirement System, effective July 31, 2026, and is seeking employment with the Board thereafter in the same position. The Board will hold a public hearing on June 8, 2026, at 1 p.m. at 6097 Johnstown-Utica Road, Johnstown, Ohio, on the issue of Mr. Blum’s re-employment as Superintendent.
According to the announcement, the Board has urgent reasons to fill the position in an expedited manner because the chief leadership position of Superintendent is unexpectedly opening late in the hiring season. The recruitment and appointment process for this role would likely be lengthy.
The statement also said that filling the position promptly with a seasoned administrator is essential to maintaining operational stability in the District.
