Jennings' principal search draws 'competitive' field

COLFAX — The principal search for Jennings Elementary is moving ahead.

Applications were being accepted until May 4 with interviews to be set for at least three candidates on May 11.

“I’m really pleased with the applicant pool,” said Jerry Pugh, Colfax School District superintendent. “There is good experience with many of the candidates there. On paper, it is looking to be pretty competitive.”

As part of the interview process, a community forum will be held with in-person and virtual options.

The new principal will replace Andrew Borders, who has resigned after a year in the position.
