Board to solicit internal interest for interim director and place interim policy on upcoming agenda
Summary
Board members discussed preparing for a possible vacancy in the director of schools post, agreed to solicit internal interest by email and to place language about interim candidates on the board's agenda for formal review.
Board members said the district should prepare now for the possibility that the director of schools could leave before a permanent replacement is hired. "We can't go a day without a director," a board member said during the work session, and members discussed identifying qualified internal candidates who could serve on an interim basis.
The board agreed informally to send a system-wide notice asking qualified internal candidates to express interest by email. Members discussed the district's existing policy language, which currently states an internal interim appointee may be barred from applying for the permanent director position unless the board later votes to allow it. Members agreed to put the interim policy and a proposal to modify it on the agenda for the board's next meeting (referred to in the transcript as the "20 fourth") so the board could consider first and second readings and any required policy changes.
Board members also discussed a short response deadline for interested candidates; one speaker suggested a Wednesday cutoff to collect names before the next meeting. At the work session the board did not formally change policy; members agreed to bring proposed language and sample policies (TSBA sample policies were mentioned) for formal review at the upcoming meeting.
