Portland School Board To Name Interim Superintendent Tuesday

The Portland Board of Education plans to name an interim superintendent next week. A special meeting of the board has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday in Room 250 of Casco Bay High School, the school district said in a statement Thursday. The board will meet privately before reconvening in public to vote on the appointment. Chairwoman Sarah Thompson said the board will select an interim superintendent to replace Emmanuel Caulk, who has been superintendent since 2012 and was hired last weekend to lead the 40,000-student public school system in Lexington, Kentucky.
