At their meeting on Wednesday, the Washington School Board heard from Superintendent Willie Stone. Stone explained the next steps for hiring a Dean of Students, “We’re in the middle of the Dean of Students application period, we will be bringing in applicants to the next board meeting. The application period closes on the 20th, we just had a conversation that we are going to do interviews I believe on the 29th, and then we will have that ready for the next board meeting.” The Dean of Students is essentially the voice of the student, when it comes to managing academic and personal issues. They act as liaisons between students, instructors, and school administrators. The Board will have more information by their next meeting about the candidates.
