School officials say they will release the names of two finalists on Friday in the search for the Shorewood School District's new superintendent.

The district has lined up community meetings on May 15 and May 17 where teachers and citizens can meet the candidates.

On each day, four meetings will be held with residents and staff members welcome to attend, in most instances.

The search comes after current Superintendent Blane McCann announced his retirement in early January, after 10 years in Shorewood. The district then hired a consultant to help in their search.

The meeting schedule for both days is as follows:

• 8:45 to 9:30 a.m. at Shorewood Intemediate School, 3830 N. Morris Blvd., Room 122

• 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. at the southwest entrance of Atwater Elementary School's Early Education Center, 2100 E. Capitol Drive

• 2 to 2:45 p.m. at Lake Bluff Elementary School, 1600 E. Lake Bluff blvd., Room 200

• 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. at Shorewood Intermediate School Commons, 3830 N. Morris Blvd. (a session for teachers and educational professionals in the community)

A RSVP isn't required, though officials request advance notification, if possible. To RSVP, call Kim Grady at (414) 963-6901 or email kgrady@shorewood.k12.wi.us.
