(AP) — A job application is now available for anyone looking to oversee the Nebraska Department of Education.

Officials say the application for Nebraska Education Commissioner is accessible online. The deadline to apply is Oct. 15.

A search committee will interview semi-finalists in November before finalists are named in December. The eight-member State Board of Education will also interview finalists at a public meeting in December.

Roger Breed announced his plans to retire as commissioner earlier this year.
