Ms. Joelle Basnight
Many thanks to everyone who attended the MS Principal Candidate session and gave feedback on our visitors. This, along with all of the information collected across four rounds of interviewing, the three day visit and thorough reference checks will result in one candidate being offered the job early next week. Look out in the WGO for an update and announcement.
Presently very few individuals have responded to the food service survey. It will be open again through the weekend to collect more responses to this brief survey.
