Placentia official finalist for Capo Unified post
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Capistrano Unified Board of Trustees on Monday named Dennis M. Smith as its finalist to become superintendent.
Smith, superintendent of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, would replace Charles McNally, who took over on an interim basis after James Fleming resigned in August after a 15-year tenure marred by controversies including allegations that he kept an “enemies list.”
Smith is expected to be offered a contract Monday following a visit to Placentia by the board, a district spokeswoman said.
