Right Tech reports enrollment, program activity and 14 applicants in superintendent search
Summary
Right Tech representatives reported program enrollments and staffing activity and said the superintendent search produced 14 applicants; the board will narrow candidates for interviews with second-round interviews scheduled for March 11.
Right Techreported current enrollments and program activity and said the search for a new superintendent drew a national pool of applicants; the committee identified 14 candidates and intends to invite a subset for in-person interviews.
A representative reporting on Right Tech said current enrollment stood at 627 and that pre-registration was due March 1. The construction program planned interviews for candidates and the program continued to schedule tours and presentations for member districts; Annandale planned a tour for ninth graders. The report noted donations and program activity such as a donated squad car to law enforcement, health-science clinical starts for 56 students, and a welding competition on Feb. 14.
On the superintendent search, the representative said the search announcement reached a national pool of candidates and returned 14 applicants from a variety of states, including Rhode Island, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Carolina. A screening process run by Rain Associates and a committee that included three superintendents produced a shortlist of seven that met criteria; the committee planned to narrow that list to four candidates to invite for first-round interviews, with second-round interviews scheduled March 11. The speaker said the district hoped to name the new superintendent in the near term and expected to report back at the next board meeting.
Right Tech also provided program-enrollment snapshots: the Wright Academy day program had 84 students; the high-school program had 79 students at the time of the report, with some referrals pending that could change numbers; night-school credit recovery had three referrals and requires about 10-12 to start an additional spring session. The report noted that the Right Academy night class met Monday nights and had 18 students at the time of the report.
The board did not take a separate vote on the Right Tech report; it was provided as an informational update. The transcript records the representative noting the search procedure, the involvement of Rain Associates as the hired search firm and interview dates for next steps.
