The Ironwood School District is coming closer to hiring a new superintendent to replace Superintendent Travis Powell. TheDailyGlobe reports Powell has served Ironwood Area Schools for the past six years and will be the new director of instructional services with the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District. Powell attended his last school board meeting on Monday, and at that meeting, the board announced that it has approved a hiring committee that will enter final negotiations with Daniel Martinson for the superintendents post, who is currently the assistant principal and athletic director of the Ironwood School District.
