YOUNGSTOWN
City schools Superintendent Connie Hathorn expects to learn next week whether he’ll be offered the top job in the Little Rock (Ark.) School District.
Hathorn, Youngstown superintendent since 2011, is one of four finalists for the Arkansas job. He said tonight that he was interviewed Monday.
His contract with the city schools expires July 31, 2014.
The school board has conducted no formal discussions about whether to renew it.
Although there was no discussion at Tuesday’s school board meeting about the possibility of Hathorn leaving, board President Richard Atkinson said after the meeting that board members met Monday to evaluate Hathorn’s performance.
Another meeting is set for Thursday to review the evaluation with Hathorn and set goals and objectives.
After that, the board will likely talk about Hathorn’s contract.
