The search for a new superintendent for the Pulaski County Special School District is coming to an end as interviews with finalists are ongoing with the final round scheduled for next Tuesday, April 15.
There’s a total of six finalists for the job and most are very familiar names.
In alphabetical order the finalists are:
Tracy Allen, currently the principal at Sylvan Hills High School and former principal at North Little Rock High School.
Brett Bunch, currently the superintendent at Brookland School District in northeast Arkansas.
Dr. Jonathan Crossley, currently the superintendent at Hope School District and a former principal in the Little Rock School District.
Dr. Jerry Gibson, currently a consultant and a former superintendent at several districts in Texas.
Jeff Senn, currently the superintendent at Lonoke School District and a former principal at Maumelle High School.
Dr. Sonya Whitfield, currently the Deputy Superintendent of Learning Services at PCSSD and has been with the district since starting as a teacher in 1992.
Allen was scheduled to be interviewed on Wednesday as well as Bunch,
Crossley and Gibson were scheduled to be interviewed today with Senn and Whitfield to follow next Tuesday, April 15.
The in-person interviews were scheduled after a series of public meetings with parents and stakeholders at high school across PCSSD and the district has previously said they’d like to have a superintendent in place this month.
Former superintendent Jerry Guess is serving as interim and he previously served as superintendent from 2011 to 2017.
