The Columbus Municipal School District’s board of trustees announced Monday that the application period has been closed by search firm Mississippi School Boards Association. The Commercial Dispatch reports Board President Jason Spears says the association has also finished its stakeholder report. He says it will be made public, but didn’t say when.

The board president says trustees and association representatives will meet April 25 to discuss the 21 applicants for the position.
