(3-4) of the parent readers will stay on and volunteer to interview =
candidates. These interviews have not been scheduled, but will probably =
be held during the first weeks of March. It is important that parents =
who make this commitment plan to attend every interview. The interview =
team selects finalists for the Superintendent's consideration. =
Thereafter, the Superintendent will interview candidates, check =
references, visit the candidates at work, and host a visit to the West =
Elementary School.

Candidate Receptions:=20
As is our custom, before the Superintendent makes her final decision, =
Dr. Bach will host candidate receptions so that West Elementary parents =
and faculty have the opportunity to meet those under serious =
consideration for the position. These are wonderful forums in which to =
get to know the candidates. Please stay tuned to Channel 10 during the =
month of March for specific information about these events. Here =
again, everyone's input is important and considered. After meeting the =
candidates, you will be asked to send your comments along to Dr. Bach =
for her consideration before she makes her final selection.=20
=20
Dr. Bach plans to make her appointment in April. The new principal will =
assume his/her duties on July 1, 2008.

Thank you for taking time to read this lengthy letter. As Director of =
Human Resources, I am hopeful that each of you will find a way to make =
your voice heard. I look forward to working with you on this important =
process.
