Hamburg has more than 20 years of administrative leadership, according to Westerville City Schools. She most recently served as superintendent of Big Walnut Local Schools (BWLS) from June 2015 through July 2022 and she also served as BWLS assistant superintendent from August 2013 through May 2015.

According to Board of Education President Kristy Meyer, Hamberg will assume the interim superintendent role to “ensure an efficient transition of administrative duties over the coming months.” Westerville City Schools has not yet determined Hamberg’s start date and salary. Clark will assist Hamberg in the transition through July 31, his effective date of resignation.

Clark was hired in August and has been the district’s superintendent since October. He resigned on Monday due to “personal reasons.” His contract was slated to run through July 31, 2026, with a salary of $230,000 per year and a 3% pay hike every year of the contract.

The search conducted by the district through the firm Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates to find Clark cost the district $39,598, a district spokesperson said.
