On this episode of Flashpoint, Ben Thompson chats with Percy Mack and CMS board member Summer Nunn about the district's search for a superintendent. Mack explains how his firm has already received interest in the position while Nunn explains what CMS is looking for as it attempts to hire another full-time superintendent.

BWP & Associates, the consulting firm hired by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, will officially begin its search for the district's next superintendent on Monday. 

"We've gotten a lot of interest already," Percy Mack of BWP & Associates, said.

The firm will spend the next two months searching for qualified applicants. Ultimately, Mack said the group's goal is to cull the search down to a select few candidates.
