The North Wasco County School District 21 board decided unanimously to continue to vet candidates for Superintendent through a second round of interviews. That after conducting interviews with three candidates on Thursday and holding an executive session on Friday evening to discuss a hiring decision. The vote to continue the process came in a very brief return to an open session on Friday, with no comment offered as to why they decided to continue the process. The three finalists the board had selected included current interim superintendent Theresa Peters, Carolyn Bernal, who is an assistant superintendent at Rio School District in Oxnard, California, and Jeff Dillon, superintendent of the Wilder School District in Idaho. Last year, the D-21 board decided to re-start its search after interviewing three other candidates. Former superintendent Candy Armstrong retired last summer, and Peters, who has been principal at Dry Hollow Elementary School, was selected for the interim role.
