Candidate withdraws from WBCSD post

PRIEST RIVER — The day after the West Bonner County School District signaled it would likely close at least two schools, district officials learned that one of two finalists for its open superintendent positions was withdrawing from consideration.

Dr. Robbie Swint Jr., who is in charge of supervisory training management for the Department of Defense at Fort Meade, Md., let district officials know Thursday he was no longer interested in the position.

In addition to his time at Fort Meade, Swint served as superintendent at the Unalaska School District in Alaska from 2021 to 2022, and principal at North Slope Borough City School in Barrow, Alaska, from 2018 to 2020.
