The list of candidates for superintendent of Davie County Schools is getting smaller, as members of the board of education are going over applications in special meetings this week.
A total of 28 applications from nine states, including North Carolina, were received. They were processed by the N.C. School Boards Association before they were handed to Davie board members.
Interviews should start in early April, with final interviews in late April. The board hopes to announce the new superintendent on May 5.
Current superintendent, Jeff Wallace, is retiring on May 2.
The job notice said the new superintendent will have to live in Davie County, and while a candidate with a doctorate degree is preferred, it is not required.
The new superintendent will oversee a system of some 6,000 students in 13 schools, as well as the more than 800 employees.
The board got input from staff, students and members of the community about the qualities desired in the next superintendent, and those will be taken into consideration.
