A student interview panel will take place from noon – 1:30 p.m. and a parents/caregivers interview panel will take place from 6:30- 8:55 p.m.
Candidate interviews will take place again on Wednesday led by teachers, district leaders, students and selected community members. However, those discussions will not be open to the public.
