Dawn Lang may no longer be President of the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board, but she provided the update Wednesday night on the search for a new superintendent.

There are still 5 finalists for the job, and each has completed a first round of interviews.  The second round of interviews will soon be underway.  The board has had, and is scheduled to continue, a number of executive sessions interviewing superintendent candidates.

The timetable continues to be offering a superintendent contract in late January – early February.  Lang cited state law requiring the superintendent’s contract to be posted publicly for 10 days prior to a public hearing on that pact.  Although the contract will likely be hammered out in February, the report date for the new superintendent will be negotiable, but not later than June 30 of this year.
