"Tacoma School Board members are set to pick an interim superintendent in two days.
But they won’t tell the public who their choice is until they vote to hire that person Thursday evening. And they won’t reveal the names of the other three finalists. ... That strategy is legal, assistant state attorney general Tim Ford said. But he also said there are ways the district could release the finalists’ names."
