Search group begins superintendent review

NEWPORT — The Newport School Board Superintendent Search Committee met on Monday, Dec. 9, to begin reviewing the 12 applications submitted for the Superintendent’s position starting July 1, 2020.

The district is currently administered by Interim Superintendent, Dr. Brendan Minnihan.

Before beginning review of the applications, the search committee practiced using the criteria for applicant evaluation determined through community surveys and discussion over several hours of meetings held in the last three months. 

The next meeting is planned for Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. Because this meeting will involve the hiring of a person as a public employee, the meeting is posted as non-public meeting..
