Crittenden County's school superintendent screening committee has received nine applications for the position of superintendent of the Crittenden County Public Schools.
Six are in-state applicants and three are from out of state. One candidate has superintendent experience.
The screening committee will now begin the process of vetting all applications following the guidelines established in KRS 160.352 and Board Policy 02.1.
The screening committee will make its recommendation to the Board of Education by April 29.
The Board of Education is not required to accept the committee's recommendation. Any final decision rests solely with the elected members of the school board.
The school system has hired a consultant to assist with the screening process.
