School Board prepares for Superintendent interviews in April

Bloomington School Board outlined the interview process for the Superintendent interviews in late April and early May as the April 14 application deadline nears.

A 12-member panel consisting of the seven School Board members, a Bloomington Principals Association representative, a Bloomington Federation of Teachers representative, a representative from the remaining employee bargaining units and two Administrative Council representatives, will interview semifinalists. The staff and public are invited to provide input on semifinalist interviews by submitting comment during the two-day interviews.

Finalists will be identified May 1. Finalists will be interviewed May 4 and 5. Community forums are scheduled for both evenings to allow candidates to meet community members and answer questions. After site visits, the School Board's goal is to select a Superintendent by May 15.
