As they have moved through the process, the Board has valued the extensive input that the community provided this past winter about the qualities the community would like finalists to have and the criteria the Board should use when selecting them. (You can read a summary of the input here: http://www.mpls.k12.mn.us/Superintendent_Search)
Now as the Board approaches the end of the process, the decision of who will be finalists, and ultimately who will be chosen as the next superintendent, is the sole responsibility of the Board of Education Directors.
The Board plans to name finalists next week at a press conference that will be televised live on cable channel 15 (Minneapolis Time Warner).
At that press conference, a time for the community to meet and participate in a moderated discussion with the finalists will be announced. It is the hope that this meeting will be broadcast live on Channel 15, with replays on KBEM radio/Jazz 88.
Immediately following the press conference, finalists names and biosalong with information on the public meetingwill be released on the districts Web site, KBEM/Jazz 88 and Channel 15; and shared through the districts multiple e-mail and communications lists.
The process will move quickly once finalists are named. If you have a question that you would like a finalist to be asked, you are invited to e-mail it now to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 612-668-0230.
We'll keep you posted.
