Be informed and part of the supt hiring process
Tonight, the school committee will interview the two local candidates of the four finalists for the position of superintendent of Lowell Schools. The interviews will be held in city council chambers beginning at 6:30 pm and will be televised live on Channel 10. (The second set of interviews will be held tomorrow night, same time and place and also broadcast live.) The rebroadcast schedule is:
Both sets of interviews will be available for viewing on LTC streaming video by Monday, 3/17, so people can watch them anytime from their computers.
Each interview will get a total of 4 replays on alternating days, beginning with the Thursday interviews (Schlictman & Jack): Saturday, 3/15 at 1:00 pm; Monday, 3/17 at noon; Thursday, 3/20 at noon; and Saturday, 3/22 at 2:00 pm. The Friday interviews (Scott and Bonner) will air as follows: Sunday, 3/16 at 1:00 pm; Tuesday, 3/18 at 10:00 am; Friday, 3/21 at 3:00 pm; Sunday, 3/23 at 2:00 pm.
Despite the cynical comments by Sun editors, who seem to think the committee has made up its mind without even interviewing the candidates, each of the four will have a chance to answer questions and state their qualifications for the job in a public forum. Residents have a role in this process; it is important to watch the interviews and communicate your impressions by contacting the entire committee and/or writing a letter to the editor. The school committee will make its decision on Monday, March 24, in a meeting at council chambers, televised live on channel 10, beginning at 6:30.
