Gov. Matt Mead says he's impressed with the finalists to run the state Department of Education. Mead says he expected to appoint a permanent director of the agency this week, but he needs some more time because of the quality of the candidates. The state Board of Education recommended the three candidates after more than 80 applied for the position. Mead has interviewed all three. None of the three are from Wyoming, but the governor says all are eager to move to the state because of the great support Wyoming provides to public education. Mead and the Legislature enacted a new law this past winter removing the superintendent of public instruction as head of the Education Department. Instead, the department will be administered by a director appointed by the governor.
