Following the meeting the community will be asked to share feedback with the district’s Board of Education through May 7. The final interviews will be conducted on the same day the feedback period ends.

• Stephen Linkous who is currently the chief of staff for the Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools.
The two finalists were chosen out of a field of 34 professionals who applied for the position.
Following the final interviews, the district’s BOE will announce the finalist during a special meeting on May 17. Whoever is chosen will assume the position beginning July 1.
