GLASGOW — Three final candidates for superintendent of Glasgow Independent Schools have been recommended to the board of education by the screening committee.
The first finalist is Sean Howard, who serves as the assistant superintendent of the Russell Independent School District in Russell. Howard has 21 years of professional experience including as a social studies teacher, assistant principal and principal, all at the high school level.
Jennifer Miller was chosen as the second finalist. She is the district instructional coordinator of the Mercer County School District in Harrodsburg. In her 20 years of experience, Miller has been a kindergarten teacher, middle school teacher, middle school assistant principal and middle school principal.
The third candidate who was chosen by the committee as a finalist is Anthony Orr, who is the principal of Paul Laurance Dunbar High School in Lexington. Orr has 19 years of experience and has worked as a high school chemistry teacher, teacher and director of the Math, Science and Technology Center for Gifted and Talented Students, associate high school principal and high school principal.
The screening committee, following the guidelines of Kentucky Revised Statute 160.352 and Glasgow Board Policy 02.1, met Wednesday to review the information each member had collected through reference checks of 15 initial applicants from across the state and from out-of-state. Those applications had been narrowed from the original pool and presented to committee members on March 2 by Phil Eason, senior educational consultant for Leadership Strategies Group (LSG) of Bowling Green. LSG was hired by the school board to facilitate the superintendent search process.
The screening committee members finished their work a week earlier than scheduled. The district timeline for finalists to be forwarded to the board of education was to be March 18.
The next step will be for board members to schedule interviews with the three individual finalists during the next few weeks. According to the timeline, a new superintendent is to be appointed by the board by April 19.
The new superintendent will succeed interim superintendent Charlie Campbell, who was appointed to a six-month term by the school board on Jan. 9, which will end on June 30. Campbell was selected by the school board following the resignation of former superintendent Kathy Goff to take a position in Warren County as assistant superintendent.
