The seven-member Denver Public Schools Board of Education hopes to narrow its field for the superintendent’s job on Monday.
After a lengthy closed meeting, the board adjourned Saturday with no decisions. The group will meet Monday and “hope to finish our deliberations,” said Lester Woodward, school board president.
“There are other people besides ourselves involved in this process, and we have to respect conversations we’re having” with the candidates, Woodward said.
Board members probably have finished six or seven candidate interviews, but Woodward left the door open that they could talk to more people.
“It remains a possibility,” he said.
Superintendent Jerry Wartgow will leave DPS on June 30.
When finalists are announced, likely this week, board members will have 14 days to make a final choice for the district’s top job.
