Superintendent search: application window closes Jan. 14; confidential community interview panels set for Feb. 13
Summary
Human Capital Enterprise briefed the Beaverton School Board on the superintendent search timeline: the applicant window closes Jan. 14, board access to applications in Breezy begins Jan. 21, confidentiality affidavits will be required, and confidential community interview panels are scheduled Feb. 13.
The Beaverton School Board received an update Jan. 13 from Human Capital Enterprise on the district’s superintendent search, including timeline milestones, confidentiality procedures and community interview plans.
Christy of Human Capital Enterprise told the board the application window closes Jan. 14 and that board members will receive a memo with applicant counts followed by access to the Breezy applicant portal beginning Jan. 21. "Once we open up Breezy to you, you have access to the applications and all of our data and everything we do from now until you choose your finalist," Christy said, adding that the consultants will perform a reference check on every candidate but some checks may continue after portal access opens.
Consultants asked all participants to sign a confidentiality affidavit, described secure handling of any printed materials (store in envelopes or locked locations) and said the board will be asked to turn over notes and printed materials at the end of the process to protect confidentiality. Christy said the subcommittee’s preliminary work is complete and the full seven‑member board will collectively review applications to select semifinalists.
Human Capital Enterprise described two confidential community interview panels planned for Feb. 13 to interview finalists; panels will interview all finalists using the same question set, will not rank or recommend hiring decisions, and will provide structured, verbatim‑style feedback to the board in Breezy as a PDF. Panel membership will include direct invites to association presidents, elected leaders, former board members and community organizations, and students will be selected by lottery from the superintendent’s advisory council.
Board members asked clarifying questions about application deadlines (Christy confirmed midnight Jan. 14 is the cut‑off), access to materials, and how panel feedback will be formatted; consultants said feedback will be delivered as verbatim notes summarizing strengths, concerns and suggested follow‑up questions. The board will receive memos and signing instructions from Human Capital Enterprise staff as the next steps unfold.
