Under the tentative timeline, there would be a planning session between Sept. 2-5, with an advertising round to start on Sept. 2. 

An initial screening would be done during the week of Sept. 29, with a slate being presented in the week of Oct. 6. The school  board would hold initial interviews during the week of Oct. 13, followed by second and third interview rounds during the week of Oct. 20. There would be meetings with the finalist during the week of Oct. 27, the last step prior to the targeted appointment date.

Mahopac school board members discussed the process Monday night at a work session. People who applied before can do so again, school board President Michael Sclafani confirmed. Schlafani also mentioned desired criteria for a candidate, including someone who has a PhD and, if possible, someone who is local.
