The Phenix City Board of Education will conduct public interviews this week with the four finalists to be the school district’s new superintendent.

Here’s the schedule Phenix City Schools public relations specialist Eric Robinson released Monday:

The interviews will be in the boardroom of the PCBOE Auxiliary Services Building, 1212 Ninth Ave. They will be livestreamed on the school district’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.

“Everyone is encouraged to attend and will have the opportunity to meet the candidate after each interview,” the news release says. “Phenix City Board of Education is excited to move forward with the superintendent selection process and is committed to upholding the district’s vision and mission in the selection of its next leader. The Board thanks everyone for their continued support of Phenix City Schools.”

No background information about the finalists was released, but online searches show this about the candidates:

Chambley is a former superintendent of Chambers County School District, where the superintendent is elected. He lost reelection in 2024.

Girtman resigned this year as superintendent of Ozark City Schools

Walters is interim superintendent of Phenix City Schools.
