The Silsbee school board has revealed the name of the lone finalist for superintendent.

A search team selected Richard Bain, Junior as the finalist. Bain is the superintendent in Water Valley ISD, a school district about 30 miles northwest of San Angelo.

State law requires districts to wait 21 days before officially hiring a superintendent.

Silsbee ISD board president John Griffin told KFDM News Bain stood out because of his leadership and overall achievement in his district.

His contract runs through June 30 in Water Valley. Griffin hopes he can begin earlier in Silsbee.
