The North Bend School District 13 held a special board meeting on September 25, 2025, addressing several key issues, including the potential misappropriation of state school funds and the appointment of an interim superintendent.

One of the primary topics discussed was the identification of a potential misappropriation of state school funds by the South Coast Education Service District (ESD). To protect the district's interests, the board authorized Acting Superintendent Tim Kreider and Board Member Nathan McClintock to enter negotiations and finalize settlement agreements if a mutually acceptable figure is reached. This decision aims to resolve the matter efficiently, with mediation scheduled for October.

The board also addressed a complaint involving Jamie Morrison. After discussion, a motion was made to take no action on the complaint, which was approved unanimously.

In addition, the board discussed the process for appointing a new superintendent. They adopted a procedure for evaluating candidates based on their qualifications and experience, using criteria from previous superintendent searches. The board also moved to appoint Tim Kreider as the interim superintendent, with a proposed salary range of $183,000 to $240,000 for the position, effective through the end of the calendar year. This motion was also passed without opposition.

The meeting concluded with board members welcoming Kreider to his new role and expressing appreciation for his efforts. The decisions made during this meeting are significant as they address both financial accountability and leadership within the district.
