Members of the Washington County Board of Education met Thursday to review a list of questions for the five candidates they will begin interviewing next week to be the systemâs next director of schools.
âI just want to ask fair questions that we can get reasonable answers on,â Board Chairman Jason Day told his colleagues.
Board members will begin conducting interviews for the position between Feb. 17-24.
The school board hopes to be able to announce the next director of schools on March 22. The new director would take office on July 1, one day after the current head of schools, Bill Flanary, officially retires.
After months of operating on a virtual schedule and being off this week for âsnow days,â all students of the Washington County School System were able to return to their classrooms on Thursday.
Bill Flanary, the countyâs director of schools, told members of the Washington County Health, Education and Welfare Committee that in-person learning is back in session.
âThis is the first day of the entire school year that weâve welcomed 100% of students back to school,â Flanary said. âIâve spoken to every principal today. Itâs happening.â
The Washington County Board of Education voted last month to return all pre-K-12 students to classroom instruction. Students who have medical reasons or who have a virtual instructional contract will continue to have access to online learning.
