Interviews are scheduled to be conducted the week of March 7-13. Numerous stakeholder groups will have the opportunity to meet the final candidates and submit input to the board about each of them. The board intends to make their selection soon after the interviews are completed.
Texarkana Arkansas School District retained the services of McPherson & Jacobson, L.L.C. to assist in conducting their search. The consultants reviewed, screened, and conducted extensive background checks on 17 completed applicants.

The board selected four candidates as finalists.
After the superintendent has been hired, Dr. Kieth Williams will facilitate a Board/Superintendent workshop to assist in the establishment of performance objectives for the new superintendent.
