The finalists for an opening as the Melcher-Dallas School District’s superintendent and high school principal have gone through their final interviews, and a selection is expected to be made by the end of the week.

The district invited three candidates back for a final meeting; Andrew Hotek, the principal at Oskaloosa Middle School, Rob Busch, elementary principal and superintendent for the Edgewood-Colesburg School District, and Scott Bridges, the principal at Prairie City Monroe High School.

Various representatives of the school district and the community were invited to join the interview team, and provide their feedback to the school board…which is expected to make their final choice by Friday.
