The Kansas City, Kan., Board of Education is expected to name the replacement for outgoing Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools Superintendent Jill Shackelford before the next calendar year.

Board President Gloria Willis made the announcement following this evening's board meeting. There appears to be four candidates.

"The Board received four applications for the Superintendent vacancy," she said. "The application and packets have been distributed and thoroughly reviewed by all board members. The Board has reached concensus regarding the next step and will be conducting personal interviews before the end of the month. The Board anticipates announcing the new superintendent before the winter break."

Shackelford announced her retirement last summer.
