School board narrows search

Crittenden County Board of Education met in closed session earlier tonight to discuss superintendent applicants. While neither the names nor the number of finalists was released Friday, retiring Superintendent John Belt said that information will be made available as soon as interviews with the finalists are scheduled. Belt, who will retire June 30, said he will attempt to complete the scheduling this weekend. 

We will attempt to have that information available in the May 1 edition of The Crittenden Press. 

Yesterday, Livingston County Board of Education announced its five finalists to replace Jack Monroe, also retiring June 30. (See entry below.)
