Summary
After reviewing evaluation standards and giving strong ratings across leadership, culture and financial management, the board voted to promote interim superintendent Tim Preyder to permanent superintendent and authorized the board chair to negotiate a contract.
The North Bend School District 13 board voted on Dec. 11 to promote interim superintendent Tim Preyder to permanent superintendent and authorized the board chair to negotiate contract terms.
Board members reported they had reviewed four evaluation standards recommended by the Oregon School Boards Association — visionary leadership, inclusive district culture, effective organizational management and effective financial management — and collectively rated Preyder as meeting or exceeding expectations in several areas. A board member summarized the group’s view: Preyder had “been doing generally a very good job” and demonstrated strong fiscal management during a period of declining enrollment.
Following a motion to promote and to authorize the chair to negotiate, the board approved the action by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The motion directs the board chair to complete contract negotiations and return to the board for any final approvals required under district policy.
Next steps: the board chair will negotiate contract terms with Tim Preyder and report back to the full board for final ratification if required by the negotiated agreement.
