Board sets application and interview timeline to fill vacancy; possible appointment March 19 or March 31
Summary
Trustees discussed and set a timeline to fill a board vacancy: applications will be due noon March 17, interviews the evening of March 17 (candidates contacted that day) with a special meeting slated for March 19 at 6 p.m.; the board may appoint that night or take the vote at the regular March 31 meeting depending on candidate volume.
Board leadership outlined a timeline to fill a board member vacancy effective March 9 and the process the board will use to interview and appoint a replacement.
A press release and application will be posted; applications will be due by 12 p.m. on March 17. Staff said candidates will be contacted the afternoon of March 17 and interviews will be scheduled that evening; a special meeting is planned for March 19 at 6 p.m. The board discussed an interview format of approximately 15 minutes per candidate (opening and closing remarks plus time for questions) with flexibility to extend if fewer candidates apply. Trustees agreed the board could vote the evening of interviews if the candidate pool is manageable, or delay the vote to the March 31 regular meeting if more time is needed for deliberation.
Board members discussed keeping the process consistent with prior appointments and the importance of giving trustees time to ask follow‑up questions based on candidates’ written questionnaires. Administration will post the application and questionnaire and report back with the candidate list.
