Interviews for our new principal were held in the Briargrove Library today.  Thank you to all of you who provided feedback during the first phase of the interview process for our new principal.  I can assure you that not only were your comments used to formulate questions but the candidates answers were evaluated in light of what you said you wanted in a new principal.  We were able to recommend some great candidates to Barbara Thornhill, Superintendent of the West Region.  The West Region office will review references from the recommended candidates as well as administer necessary tests or review test scores (all potential principals are required to pass 4 aptitude/psychology tests).  Once the candidates pass this part of the process, they will be interviewed by Ms. Thornhill who will then recommend two candidates to be interviewed by Dr. Saavedra on July 7th.  He will hopefully select our new principal (he has the power to veto both candidates which will extend the process).  I will keep you posted as I receive updates.  Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.  Obviously, questions about specific candidates cannot be entertained in order to protect the privacy of the candidates.
