The Canutillo Independent School District Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet Thursday evening as the district moves further into its search for a new superintendent.
The search began earlier this fall, several months after former Superintendent Pedro Galaviz transitioned into a superintendent-emeritus role. The board appointed Jesica Arellano as interim superintendent in June.

An agenda posted for Thursday’s special board meeting shows trustees are expected to decide how many applicants will be interviewed.
In late October, CISD held a community meeting at Canutillo High School to gather input on what qualities stakeholders want in the next district leader. A district spokesperson said during that meeting that students emphasized wanting “a leader that’s involved, a leader that understands the needs of students, the needs of campuses.”

CISD previously said interviews were expected to begin in November, with a sole finalist selected in December and a permanent superintendent expected by the end of January.
Thursday’s special board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
