THE APS BOARD IS MOVING TO THE NEXT STEP IN HIRING A NEW SUPERINTENDENT. THEY REDUCED THE LIST OF 59 TO SIX. MONICA ARMENTA WITH APS TELLS US THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPLICANTS AND CANDIDATES … AND SOME OF THE CRITERIA FOR WHO STAYS ON THE LIST IS OBVIOUS. FOR ONE THING, THEY HAVE TO MEET THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JOB. SHE SAYS MANY FAILED IN THAT CATEGORY, SO THEY WERE ELIMINATED.
ARMENTA SAYS THE NEXT STAGE REQUIRES CAREFUL REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF THE RESUMES AND CANDIDATES’ BACKGROUNDS. AFTER MORE PUBLIC MEETINGS, THEY’LL PARE THE LIST TO 3 OR 4 ON APRIL 9TH TO TAKE TO PUBLIC FORUMS. THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT IS SCHEDULED TO BE ANNOUNCED APRIL 11TH.
