North Wasco County School District 21 announced its three finalists in its search for a new superintendent, and the list includes interim superintendent Theresa Peters. Peters took the interim job this summer to take over when Candy Armstrong retired, and the D-21 board decided to search again this year after going through the process one year ago but decided to wait as the pandemic set in. The other finalists are 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. A public forum with all three of the candidates will be held electronically via the D-21 Facebook page on January 15 at 6 p.m., with each candidate scheduled for 30 minutes. The board will conduct final interviews on January 21, with an intent to make a selection the next day.
