WHEELING - Two current Ohio County School administrators are seeking to be the county's next superintendent, as are two officials from Grant County, W.Va.
The Ohio County Board of Education will meet Saturday morning to interview two finalists for the position of superintendent. Current Superintendent Lawrence Miller is to retire in June.
The first interview Saturday is at 9 a.m. at the central office, with the second candidate to be interviewed at 10 a.m., according to Howard O'Cull, executive director of the West Virginia School Boards Association.
Ohio County's board members will meet in executive session to conduct the private interviews.
O'Cull said four candidates officially applied for the position of superintendent, with two of the candidates being familiar names in Ohio County. Current Assistant Superintendent Dianna Vargo has applied for the job, as has Deputy Superintendent George Krelis.
Grant County Schools Superintendent Marsha Carr-Lambert and that county's assistant superintendent, Dennis Albright, also submitted resumes.
