Superintendent candidate interviews Thursday

The School Board and the Superintendent Search’s Community Stakeholder Interview Group will meet Thursday to interview the three finalists for the superintendent's job.

The School Board will meet from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to publicly interview the candidates; the interview group will meet at 12:30 p.m., also to interview the candidates. The latter meeting is noticed for a potential closed session.

Both meetings will be at the central services building, 5225 W. Vliet St. The Board meeting will be in the auditorium, while the interview group meeting will be in room 155.

The ground rules for the Board meeting are as follows, according to the public notice posted by the MPS Office of Board Governance:

Each finalist will have 30 minutes to:

1. make a brief biographical presentation to the public;

2. respond to a topical question presented by the consultant for the superintendent search; and

3. respond to written questions submitted by the public, as time allows.

As each finalist will be asked the same questions, all questions from the public must be submitted in writing to the Office of Board Governance prior to the meeting. Questions may be submitted via email (governance@milwaukee.k12.wi.us), fax (414-475-8071), or in person immediately before the meeting.

The Board will meet again at 6:30 p.m. Thursday to further discuss the candidates. That meeting is noticed for a closed session.
