The Summit School District announced the five finalists the district board is considering to serve as the next superintendent of schools.
The group includes: Tammy Clementi, Matthew D. Flores, Thomas Heald, Dawn Pare and Marion J. Smith Jr.
The final candidates were selected Friday in a board of education executive session after the board reviewed resumes, including videos, of nine applicants.
The board President Kate Hudnut said in a statement the board will interview the five candidates over two days of open meetings May 14-15. The board invites the community to watch the interviews via Zoom.

Outgoing superintendent Kerry Buhler announced her retirement earlier this year.
