None of the three finalists for the Principal position at Bishop Elementary School were hired.
The position has been open since earlier this year when current Principal Stephen Carme announced he would not be returning.
For the past several weeks, parents have met with finalists. First there were four, then one withdrew.

Of the final three, one backed out, citing "family and personal reasons" and another accepted a position elsewhere, an email from Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Bodie said.
"My plan for the 2010-2011 school year is to appoint an interim principal. Early next year, a new search will be conducted to fill the position," said Bodie. "My expectation and hope is to appoint an interim principal before the end of the school year so that she or he can meet with staff before everyone leaves for the summer."
