Board met in closed session on interim superintendent and agreed to begin consultant-assisted search
Summary
Following an executive session to interview candidates for an interim superintendent, the board returned to open session and voted to begin a search process with external consultants to fill the superintendent vacancy.
After an executive (closed) session to discuss qualified individuals for interim superintendent and to conduct interviews and negotiate, the Deming Public Schools Board returned to open session and recorded no action taken in closed session. In open session trustees voted to begin a search process that may include soliciting proposals from executive-search consultants to assist with filling the superintendent vacancy.
Nut graf: The board's open-session announcement clarified that no action occurred during the closed executive session itself, and trustees requested next steps to solicit consultant proposals and establish a timeline for a broader search.
Board members discussed transparency and the potential value of an outside consultant to manage a competitive and visible search process. One board member specifically moved and the board carried a motion to start soliciting proposals from search consultants; roll call was recorded and the motion was approved.
Ending: The board set a special meeting to continue search-related discussions and directed staff to begin the consultant-solicitation process.
