The School Committee is targeting Jan. 31 as the date it will meet to vote on whether to hire as the next superintendent one of three finalists: Interim Hopkinton Superintendent Steven Hiersche; Cathy MacLeod, assistant superintendent in Easton; or Wellesley High School principal Andrew Keough. The committee publicly questioned each candidate earlier this month and held sessions where the public could also interview each finalist. A search team from Hopkinton is now in the midst of visiting schools in each of the finalist’s community to verify impressions and better understand each candidate’s management style before doing a thorough background check on each. The meeting on Thursday is open to the public and will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the middle school library.
