Upon the creation of a new administrative or supervisory position, or a vacancy in an existing position, except for the position of Superintendent of Schools, position announcements shall be sent by the Personnel Director to each school and the School Board’s official journal. Only applicants certified for the position according to Bulletin 746, Louisiana Standards for State Certification of School Personnel shall qualify for consideration.

The Personnel Director shall compile initial pre-interview points on each applicant and house these points in the Personnel Office. Applicants and interviewers shall be notified of the time and place of the interview.
After the interview has been completed, each member of the Interview Team shall complete an Interview Tally Sheet for each applicant. The Interview Team shall send the name of the top candidate in writing to the Superintendent along with applications and other relevant information, for review. After review, the Superintendent shall inform the board of the Interview Team’s recommendation and his/her selection.
