School candidates names to be released

Monday, March 20, 2000 | 11:34 a.m.

Starting today the School Board and Superintendent Selection Process Committee begin their second attempt at finding a new leader for the Clark County School District, the nation's eighth largest.

Superintendent search consultant William Attea was to produce three national candidates this morning who are experienced in leading districts with 70,000 or more students. Clark County has 217,000 students.

The names of those candidates, who were announced after the Sun's press time, can be found on the Las Vegas Sun website, vegas.com.

Two more candidates will be announced on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to a schedule released by the school district's public information office.

All of the activities are being held at KLVX Channel 10, 4210 Channel 10 Drive. All are open to the public.

Community receptions for each candidate are scheduled for Thursday and second interviews take place Friday.

When the week is through, the School Board will discuss the candidates at a special meeting on March 27. If the board agrees on a candidate, a new superintendent could be named by April 6.
