SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County Board hopes to select a new administrator in the next two weeks after selecting a small pool of candidates to interview during a closed session meeting Wednesday.

Board Chairman Larry Anderson, R-Malta, said the process has gone smoothly since the board decided to restart the process in July, after making changes in the educational and experience requirements, and Deerfield-based search firm Voorhees Associates has narrowed the field to a few exemplary candidates.

“I hope there is a decision within two weeks,” Anderson said. “We have some very good candidates to choose from.”
