CUSD superintendent Bayless is a finalist for a job in Massachusetts

John Bayless,  superintendent of schools in Cabrillo Unified School District, is interviewing today for a job as superintendent for Public Schools in Somerville, Massachusetts, according to the Somerville Journal. He’s one of five finalists for the position, which pays $160,000 per year.

"He interviews quite often, but if he’s interviewing today I’m not aware of it," said CUSD president Dwight Wilson, President of the CUSD board. "When it’s serious,  I usually get a request for a letter of reference." He also mentioned in passing the fact that Bayless almost took a position at the San Mateo County Office of Education in 2002.

I called Dr. Bayless at the CUSD office, but he’s out for the remainder of the week. If he’s staying the weekend, I recommend that he have dinner at the Elephant Walk restaurant in Cambridge.
