Clarification: BWP & Associates 

During a March 12 community forum, the superintendent search consultants were asked whether BWP & Associates is the same search firm that conducted Richland One’s last superintendent search. The consultants incorrectly stated that BWP & Associates had not conducted the 2015 search when, in fact, BWP & Associates was the firm that conducted the previous search. The consultants have apologized for any confusion their response during the forum may have caused.
