Race for Niles School Board superintendent narrows

NILES, Mich. -- Another candidate drops out of the running for Niles School Board superintendent.

Cathy Bildhauser of Michigan City has withdrawn her name.

So tonight's first round of public interviews just included current Assistant Superintendent Adam Burtfield responding to questions from the Niles School Board.

Those from the public in attendance wrote down questions and comments for the candidates which the council collected following the interviews which they will review before asking the candidates directly during a second round of interviews.

Of the remaining two candidates Raphael Rittenhouse's public interview is tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. and Steven Hope at 7 p.m. both at 2120 20th place in Niles.
