It’s down to four.
The Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education chose its superintendent finalists on Friday, and Scott Elder, the man currently running the district, made the cut.
The four finalists are:
......................
• Ignacio Ruiz, assistant superintendent, Clark County School District, Las Vegas, Nevada.
• Ushma Shah, assistant superintendent of elementary schools, instruction and equity, School District U-46, Elgin, Illinois.
• Elder, APS interim superintendent. Elder was the district’s former chief operations officer who was appointed to the role.
The board voted 6-1 for the finalists. Peggy Muller-Aragon said she voted against them because the public was kept out of the conversation.
