In the letter to St. Helens community members, Kotek says she is monitoring the investigations and is working with the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and other agencies to aid in the search for an interim superintendent. Kotek also says in the letter that she plans to step in if the interim superintendent decision isn’t made in 14 days.
