Superintendent Selection - Status?

The superintendent-search firm, based in Omaha, should now be sorting through the applicants and preparing its recommendations to the Richland 2 board. Actually, they should have been sorting through the applications and ranking them as they came in?

The closing date for applications was May 31. On June 12th McPherson & Jacobson is to present its candidates and the board is to select Finalists.

So here is something I am not understanding. It takes "Mac & Jake" from June 1-11 to pick through the applications, and the Board is supposed to pick Finalists in one meeting (June 12)?

Finalist interviews are to be held June 20-22.

Board will choose to whom to offer the position on June 23.

Board will announce the new Superintendent on June 27. Will this mean they will offer the position only to someone who is unemployed? 

What could possibly go wrong with this Timeline? (See the full timeline on www.Richland2.org)

Where is the adequate period of time for negotiating the deal with the new candidate?

What if the #1 candidate delays or doesn't accept?

Why did the Board lose three months (February, March, April)? Why didn't it start immediately on January 18th? (Too late for that answer!)
