The list has been narrowed down from 33 applications for superintendent to 11 semifinalists for the job.
The district also officially appointed assistant superintendent Sue Hann as an acting superintendent on Tuesday after the board voted unanimously to place its interim superintendent on paid leave after staff complaints.
Superintendent candidates will need to field questions from school board members and have been asked to submit videos as part of the final selection process.
