The two finalists for superintendent of the Bettendorf schools will visit the district on Thursday. Michelle Morse and Robert Callaghan will meet with staff, students, parents, and community members, then answer questions at community forums in the evening.
Questions can be submitted starting at 5:30, and the same questions will be asked of both candidates - Morse from 6 to 6:50 pm, and Callaghan from 7 to 7:50.
Attendees at the forums at Mark Twain Elementary School can then give their comments to the board, which will interview both after the forums. The Bettendorf board plans to make a final decision at its meeting on February 18th.
Currently Morse is the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources for the Newhall School District in Valencia, California. Callaghan is superintendent of the Newton school district in Newton, Iowa.
