Whitnall school officials were hoping they would know who their next superintendent would be by early February.
But February came and went, and now - the second week of March - a successor to Karen Petric still has not been named.
School Board President Bill Osterndorf said Tuesday the reason for the hold up is contract negotiations with one of the candidates. The board previously narrowed the field to two: Grafton High School Principal Ken McCormick and former Beloit superintendent Lowell Holtz.
Board members are scheduled to meet in closed session Monday to continue discussion over superintendent candidates.
Osterndorf said an announcement could be made as early as the board's next regularly scheduled meeting, March 22.
Petric will retire on June 30.
