KP HS Principal Search Down to Five Candidates

The King Philip principal search committee has been formed and met recently, according to district officials.

District Superintendent Elizabeth Zielinski said the committee has narrowed the field down to five candidates.

According to Zielinski, the candidates will now be interviewed by the committee.

The search had drawn controversy over teacher representation on the committee. The administration had sought faculty volunteers for the search committee, but the teachers union wanted to choose the teachers who would participate.

Zielinski had said the administration offered to have two teachers on the committee, with one chosen from the volunteers and one chosen by the union. She said the proposal rejected.

Zielinski said the interviews would be open to faculty and staff.
