2 LRSD finalists schedule visits

The two finalists for the job of Little Rock School District superintendent will visit the capital city school system for in-person interviews with the school board and others during the week of April 18.

The Little Rock School Board voted Tuesday to extend invitations for second interviews to two applicants for the superintendent's job in the 21,000-student district.

The Little Rock School Board voted Tuesday to extend invitations for second interviews, which would be in-person, to two applicants for superintendent of the 21,000-student district.

The Little Rock School Board on Wednesday concluded initial interviews of four candidates seeking the superintendent's job in the 21,000-student school system.

The Little Rock School Board will conduct online interviews tonight with the first two of four candidates for the job of superintendent in the 21,000-student district.

Three candidates, none of whom are from or have worked in New Orleans, advanced to the next round of the district’s superintendent search after its school board met for more than four hours of private discussion Tuesday.

LRSD has taken in applications and the school board has decided who they will interview to become the next superintendent for the district.

The Orleans Parish School Board has shortened its list of superintendent candidates from 15 to seven, after two days of back-to-back interviews last week.
