Port Angeles School Board advances three superintendent candidates to semifinal interviews
Summary
During a meeting that included an executive session on superintendent finalists, the Port Angeles School District Board voted to advance three candidates identified by the letters Q, Y and M to semifinalist interviews scheduled for Feb. 22; the board set that date and discussed remote participation for some members.
The Port Angeles School District Board of Directors voted to advance three candidates identified by the letters Q, Y and M to semifinalist interviews scheduled for Feb. 22, the board said while returning from an executive session on candidates for the superintendent post.
The action moves three finalists closer to public semifinal interviews as part of the district’s search process. The board recessed into an executive session to review applicants, then reconvened and took motions to advance candidates. "We're returning from executive session where we review candidates for superintendent positions," said Speaker 1, a board member, during the reconvened meeting.
Board members proposed and seconded motions to advance the candidates by letter. One motion to move a candidate forward was introduced as "I know that we advance candidate queued forward for a semifinalist interview on February 22," and a second was recorded; the board then voted with unanimous audible "Aye" responses. Later, a separate motion to advance a candidate identified as Y for the same Feb. 22 interview was made and seconded and approved. The board also moved candidate M forward in a subsequent motion and approved it.
The board set Feb. 22 as the date for semifinalist interviews and said the session would begin with an executive session before returning to general session. Speaker 1 noted which members would attend in person and which would call in: "At that point, Kirsten and Sarah will still be remote, so they'll be calling in and then we'll all be together." The meeting then was adjourned.
The transcript records motions and approvals but does not list full candidate names, the exact vote tally by member, or which board member seconded each motion in every instance; those items were recorded in the meeting audio as audible "Aye" responses and brief procedural comments. The district’s search process and the identity of candidates beyond letter identifiers were not disclosed in the portions of the meeting transcript provided.
