That means that a fourth candidate has been added to the list of three finalists. That is how Dr. Dixon made the cut six years ago by being added after another person&#8217;s withdrawal. When Dr. Dixon was selected to be Duluth&#8217;s superintendent he was in effect the only candidate left as the others had withdrawn or dropped hints that they weren&#8217;t all that interested.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t envy the School Board. For the time being it has three finalists but one of them has children enrolled in the neighboring Hermantown School District which has pulled a lot of Duluth students into its orbit. That&#8217;s a little awkward.<\/p>\n<p>Also, from what I can see, none of the candidates have been classroom teachers. That is not a necessity but for a District attempting to make nice with the teachers its not a plus either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WDIO reported tonight that Dr. Hess of the Bemidji School District has just dropped out as one of Duluth&#8217;s three finalists.
