Board votes to engage executive search firm for superintendent search
Summary
The board voted to engage an executive search firm to conduct the superintendent search. Trustees discussed two finalist firms and selected a firm by roll call; one trustee cast a dissenting vote during the motion.
The Woodland Park School District RE-2 Board of Education voted to engage an executive search firm to conduct the district's superintendent search.
During discussion, trustees compared two finalist firms and noted both offered similar services for comparable fees. One trustee said he favored a firm with statewide connections; another said the competing firm appeared to offer more in-depth services for a similar price.
A motion to move forward with the search firm was made and carried on roll call. The transcript records one recorded dissent during the vote. The roll-call sequence recorded in the meeting included Bates (Yes), Kimbrell (No), Patterson (Yes) and Resner Holt (Yes); the chair announced the motion carried. The board directed staff to proceed with engagement and next steps for the search process.
Why it matters: The district will engage an external firm to lead the recruitment process for a superintendent, a decision that will shape the search timeline, stakeholder engagement, and candidate outreach.
Ending: Staff will finalize the contract with the selected firm and work with the board on timelines and stakeholder input for the superintendent search process.
