PERRYSBURG, Ohio — The Ohio State board of Education is down to three candidates for state superintendent; and Perrysburg Schools Superintendent Tom Hosler is still in the running.
The race is now between Hosler, Springboro Community City Schools Superintendent Larry Hook and Steve Dackin, a board member who led the superintendent search before quitting and applying for the job himself.
A total of 27 people originally applied for the role.
The three finalists will be interviewed in person at a state board closed meeting on Monday, May 9.
A finalist could be selected as early as Tuesday, May 10.
Hosler has been with Perrysburg Schools since August of 2007 and agreed to a five-year contract extension last year.
Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction Stephanie Siddens did not apply for the permanent role.
