The search for a new Anoka-Hennepin Schools superintendent has been narrowed down to six candidates.
The school board is publicly interviewing the candidates: two internal and four from outside school districts. Interviews started Tuesday evening and continue Wednesday starting at 5 p.m. at the Educational Service Center, 2727 N Ferry St., Anoka.
The board is expected to choose two or three finalists. Superintendent Dennis Carlson will retire in June after leading the state's largest school district since 2009. Anoka-Hennepin enrolls about 40,000 students.
The six candidates are:
Stephen Flisk, associate superintendent, Minneapolis Public Schools
Jinger Gustafson, associate superintendent, Anoka-Hennepin School District
Carlton Jenkins, superintendent, Saginaw Public Schools in Michigan
Michelle Langenfeld, superintendent, Green Bay Area Public School District in Wisconsin
