OPSB met in Executive Session with the two candidates during the afternoon of January 14. The agenda for that Special Board Meeting can be read
here.
The public reception was held in the library of the new Alice M. Harte Charter School. It featured brief presentations by both candidates, questions from school board members as read by the OPSB President, and a "meet and greet" session during which the public was able to speak one-on-one with the candidates.
Each candidate appeared separately at the reception. Dr. Lewis met with the community from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. Dr. Lindo met the community from 7:15 p.m. - 8:45 p.m. Citizens who attended also had the opportunity to complete a Community Input Form that the Board will review prior to any final selection.
The School Board could make a final selection later this month. The election of the Superintendent requires the affirmative vote of at least five Board members.
OPSBrief has summarized the presentations and responses by the two candidates below:
Dr. Henderson Lewis, Jr.
