We will begin each day at 5:00 p.m., with the following interviews starting 10 minutes after the completion of the prior interview.
On May 15th we will hold a special meeting at 5:00 p.m. to determine our finalists, who will have an opportunity to meet with stakeholder groups before final interviews held May 19-21. (These dates will be confirmed after finalists are selected.).We look forward to working with this group of talented professionals and our Manchester Community Schools Family to determine our best fit candidate for our next Superintendent!
