The Carson City School District Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday to discuss and take possible action on the superintendent hiring process after receiving 10 applications for the position.
The meeting will examine the selection of candidates vetted by hosting firm Nevada Association of School Boards and interviewed by the school board. Discussion will confirm the interview questions for the candidates and determine the date, time, location and format for interviews.
NASB Executive Director Debb Oliver previously led the school board through a community survey revealing qualities the community sought in the next superintendent.
The item is for possible action.
On Tuesday, board members received an update that of the 10 applications received by NASB for the search, three originated from within Carson City School District. District spokesman Dan Davis on Wednesday said the district wished to maintain confidentiality in candidates’ names until the special meeting.
Superintendent Richard Stokes previously announced he will be retiring in June.
The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Robert Crowell Board Room of the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William St.
