At Tuesday’s Guam Education Board meeting, officials announced that once the screening process is completed on September 29 at 1pm, the names of the applicants will be made public.

Board chair Angel Sablan says a press conference is scheduled for Monday, October 13, at noon to formally present the qualified contenders for GDOE's top post.

Sablan added that if the process goes as planned, a selection could be made by October 21.

If not, the board will continue deliberations until a decision is reached.
