The window for applications to serve as the next superintendent of the Chapel Hill – Carrboro City School district has closed with 44 applicants from 17 states hoping to fill the role.
CHCCS officials say the applications will now be processed by the North Carolina School Boards Association and released to the CHCCS Board of Education in mid-September.
The CHCCS board has taken public input on what to look for in a new superintendent through board meetings, a public forum and an e-mail survey. Community members can attend another public forum on Saturday at Northside Elementary School to add their voice to the discussion. The forum at Northside is scheduled to begin at 1:30 Saturday afternoon in the cafeteria.
School officials have said they hope to have a new superintendent in place in January.
Dr. Tom Forcella retired as superintendent earlier this summer and Dr. Jim Causby has been serving in that role on an interim basis.
