Board authorizes search-firm process and RFPs for superintendent search
Summary
After staff presented two approaches, the board voted to hire a search firm for the superintendent recruitment, authorized issuance of RFPs to listed firms and allowed HR/central staff to accept additional firm recommendations through June 30; minor edits to the RFP were approved.
Central office staff presented two options for the upcoming superintendent search — hiring an external search firm or a board‑led process — and recommended engaging a search firm to broaden recruitment, protect confidentiality and reduce board time demands.
Board members discussed pros and cons and several directors urged using a firm for confidentiality and broader candidate pools. A motion to proceed with the search‑firm option was made and carried; the board then authorized HR and central office staff to send RFPs to the firms on the provided list and to accept additional nominations through the end of business on June 30. The board also approved edits to the RFP document (adding the business manager’s contact information and referencing coherent governance policy) before distribution.
Board members noted budget authority had been planned for the search and that proposals will be ranked and evaluated following receipt. The transcript records a roll‑call sequence on the motion to hire a search firm; the motion carried and subsequent RFP authorizations were approved on the record.
