“Well it was a combination of their interview, the answers that they provided, the committee feedback that we received, the background checks that we did, the reference checks, the positive things that we learned about each candidate from their references,” says Grimm. “We spoke to references that were not on their list and, again, the general feel of the committee that these candidates would be a good fit in our district.”
