WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Mount Greylock Regional School Superintendent Search Committee on Wednesday voted to send two candidates' names to the Transition Committee.

 

Search Committee Chairman and Transition Committee member Steven Miller said the screening panel did an in-depth review of the five applicants for the job and voted to advance two candidates to the hiring body.

 

The Transition Committee had charged the Search Committee with returning no more than three names. The finalists would be expected to visit the district for in-person interviews.

 

Miller was not at liberty Wednesday night to identify the two candidates who made it through the first stage of the process.

 

All five applicants' names were kept secret in order to protect their privacy, and the all the screening was done in executive session. The two candidates who made it through Miller's committee will be asked whether they want their names made public before they are identified in an open meeting by the Transition Committee.

 

The Transition Committee, which governs the recently expanded district from Jan. 1 until November's elections, meets Thursday evening, tonight, at which time Miller will give an update from the screening panel.
