First round of superintendent interviews are next week
The New Prague Area School Board has set its first round of interviews for the superintendent’s position for Monday and Tuesday, July 10 and 11 at the board’s meeting room at New Prague Middle School. They are tentatively scheduled to start at 4 p.m. each day.
The board plans to interview six candidates for a successor to Dr. Frankie Poplau, whose last day on the job is Friday. Poplau has resigned after 12 years with the district, the last seven as superintendent.
The entire board will conduct the first round of interviews, which will be open to the public.
After the interviews, board members will pare the list to about three candidates and will conduct a second round of interviews, also open to the public, July 17-19. The board will also conduct site visits and background checks of the final candidate or candidates. They hope to decide on a candidate by their June 24 meeting.
