The Clarke County Board of Education on Wednesday, March 4, provided its latest update on the ongoing Clarke County School District Superintendent search process.
A total of 32 people applied for the position during the application period, and the board will review all applications in March and determine the top candidates for in-person interviews.
The board plans to interview all finalists for the position during executive sessions in mid-April and will publicly announce the finalists in May.
A vote on the final candidate would be held at the board's May or June meeting. At least 14 calendar days prior to the meeting at which the final action or vote is to be taken on the position of Superintendent, all documents concerning as many as three persons under consideration whom the board has determined to be the best qualified for the position shall be subject to inspection and copying. The board can vote on the appointment at any time after the 14-day period.
The board also released on Wednesday the results of the recent community input survey conducted in conjunction with the Georgia School Boards Association to identify the qualifications, skills, and traits most desired in the next person selected to fill the role. The results of the survey are posted on the special CCSD Superintendent Search page.
