Clarendon ISD Trustees continued meeting this week for second round interviews with finalists for the job of superintendent.
The school board was expected last week to narrow a field of six candidates down to two, but instead they passed three men on to the finalist round.
Called meetings were held on Monday and Tuesday this week with another planned for Wednesday as the Enterprise went to press. One finalist each night enjoyed a meal with board members and other select individuals prior to the meeting. Interviews were then conducted in closed session each night.
The trustees will meet in regular session the evening of January 15 where they will deliberate in closed session again before announcing the lone finalist for the job.
In other recent school business, the board met in regular session on December 11 and approved the schools fiscal year 2014 audit as presented by Glenda McCrary of Swan and McCrary, PC.

The board then met in closed session for nearly two hours to review the contract considerations of the Administration Team and Athletic Director. When the board returned to open session, it approved extending the principal contracts of Larry Jeffers, John Taylor, and Mike Word, and the current contract of Gary Jack, Athletic Director, for one additional year.
The board then met in closed session again for about 40 minutes to evaluate outgoing superintendent Monty Hysinger. No action was taken when the board returned to open session. Hysinger begins as the superintendent at Dumas this month.
