Former superintendent finalist Orlando Ramos filed for bankruptcy
Ramos drops application for Minn. superintendent's job after bankruptcy filing revealed
Orlando Ramos, the man who was a finalist for the Detroit superintendent's job before he dropped out of contention a week ago, has now dropped out of the running in St. Paul, Minn., after a newspaper there reported earlier this week he had a past bankruptcy filing.
Ramos, 51, a regional superintendent in Milwaukee Public Schools, failed to disclose the bankruptcy filing from about eight years ago, according to a report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune this week.
Ramos emerged March 16 as a finalist for the Detroit superintendent's job. But he withdrew after he became a finalist in St. Paul and interviews there were scheduled for the same day he was scheduled to interview in Detroit.

The Detroit board of education has moved ahead with two other finalists: Derrick R. Coleman, superintendent of the River Rouge Public Schools and Nikolai Vitti, superintendent of the Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Fla. Vitti interviewed in Detroit on Wednesday. Coleman is expected to interview on Monday.
The Minneapolis newspaper reported that Ramos withdrew there a few hours after a story about his bankruptcy filing was posted online.
"I apologize for the distraction that this issue has caused," the newspaper reported Ramos saying in a statement. "I wish the St. Paul community the best as district leaders work to find the best candidate to lead St. Paul Public Schools."
Ramos has previously been a finalist in Allentown, Pa. The Star-Tribune reported he has also been a finalist in Cincinnati.
The superintendent searches in Detroit, St. Paul, Allentown and Cincinnati are all being handled by Iowa-based Ray and Associates.
