Update >>>>> Please Be Aware of Events Related to the Search for Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools >>>>> Tuesday, 17 May; Monday, 23 May; and Tuesday, 24 May

Please be aware that the opportunity for community members to ask questions of the two finalists (Brenda Cassellius and Ed Graff) for Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) transpired on Monday evening, 16 May, at the Davis Center (central office building), 1250 West Broadway, from 6:00 (actually late-started at 6:40) until 8:00 PM.


The remaining events related to the superintendent search are listed below.  Events on Tuesday, 17 May, are those still given on the website at MPS.  But since the search committee only recommended two candidates (rather than the three originally thought likely) the interview for Candidate C will not occur.  Interview times are likely those given for Candidate A and Candidate B, with a business meeting probably now to occur from 7:45 until 8:15 PM.  I will be attentive to updates and pass these on to my readers as time allows.
