Board authorizes president, vice president to open superintendent contract talks
Summary
At a March 13 special meeting, the Evergreen School District board voted to authorize the board president and vice president to begin contract negotiations with a superintendent candidate identified only as "T." The board held an executive session earlier under RCW 42.30.110 to evaluate the applicant's qualifications.
At a special meeting March 13 at 5:01 p.m., the board of directors voted to authorize the board president and vice president to open contract negotiations with a superintendent candidate identified only as “T.”
The motion was presented as a procedural step toward hiring, not a final appointment. Director Perkins moved that the board “appoint the president and vice president to open contract negotiations with the candidate signified by the letter T,” and Director Gronwold seconded the motion. The presiding officer called the vote and said, “All in favor. Aye.” The motion carried and the meeting was adjourned.
The board met earlier the same day in an executive session under RCW 42.30.110 to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment. According to remarks recorded at the meeting, the executive session began at 8:05 a.m. and was scheduled to continue through the day; the board cited RCW 42.30.110 as the legal authority for closing that portion of the meeting.
The board provided no additional public details about candidate T, the content or duration of negotiations, or any timetable for a final hiring decision. The action recorded in the minutes authorizes district leadership to begin negotiations; it does not constitute appointment or final approval of terms.
No other substantive items were taken up during the special meeting; the meeting record shows the board adjourned shortly after the vote.
