FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Two finalists for superintendent of the Fayetteville Public Schools District have upcoming interviews, and the School Board hopes to make a decision shortly thereafter.

The board will interview Anthony Rossetti, superintendent of Webb City Schools in Webb City, at 5 p.m. Monday and Brad Swofford, superintendent of the Branson School District in Branson, at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Board president Nika Waitsman said the board hopes to fill the post Wednesday, following Swofford's interview.
