Board to discuss superintendent candidates
The Springfield school board will meet in closed session with search consultants Tuesday to discuss the semi-finalist candidates who will be interviewed to be the next city schools superintendent.
The national search, performed by Illinois-based BWP and Associates, will be narrowed down to about six educators who will be interviewed by the board the week of March 23rd.
Ohio law allows boards to conduct personnel business like this in executive session.
After the initial interviews, finalists will be brought back for another round that will include a chance for other stakeholders to interview the prospective superintendents.
A couple representatives of the board and a couple other people (I know for sure they invited teachers union president Greg Krouse because I was at the meeting when they said it back in December, but I’m not sure who else will be included) will then go on a site visit to the chosen candidate’s current employer.
We’ll have information on all of the applicants on the blog early this week.
The board meets at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Shouvlin Center.
