Bomb threats, lawsuits, and in-fighting affected candidate interviews for the Birmingham City Schools Superintendent position yesterday. One candidate was in the middle of answering a question when she and others were asked to vacate the building for safety. Interim BCS Superintendent Larry Contri filed a lawsuit to stop the interview process, but a Jefferson County judge denied that request. The contentious process continues now with just three candidates. We talk about what’s next in this saga with Nick Patterson, editor of the weekly newspaper Weld.
