Board names two finalists in CFO search; one local and one out‑of‑state candidate to interview in person
Summary
Board members said four applicants were initially interviewed and two were selected as finalists. The finalists will participate in in‑person interviews, breakfasts and meetings with district staff ahead of a single finalist recommendation.
At the Woodland Park School District RE-2 Board of Education meeting, board representatives reported progress in the search for a permanent chief financial officer. The board said it interviewed four applicants and selected two finalists to invite for in‑person interviews and meetings with the finance and executive teams.
According to remarks in the meeting, one finalist is local and one is from out of state. The board scheduled in‑person sessions the week following the meeting to include breakfasts and lunches with board members and extended time for the candidates to meet district finance staff and the executive team. Staff said the process aims to produce a single finalist for the board to consider.
Board members asked whether interview notes and question sets from the initial round would be shared. Staff said they would provide candidates’ resumes ahead of the in‑person interviews and that the board would have opportunities to ask questions during those sessions.
Speakers and staff described the timeline as compressed but feasible; the board also discussed scheduling a work session before interviews to finalize the superintendent job description and related materials for search firms. No formal action or vote was taken on the search during the meeting.
This update reflects statements in the meeting about candidate numbers, interview scheduling and next steps.
