Summary
Renmier/Brenmire Leader Services presented a superintendent search schedule: application deadline Jan. 25, semi‑final candidate review the week of Feb. 4 (closed meeting), semi‑final interviews by Zoom, and final, in‑person candidate days and interviews targeted for March 12.
The board heard an update on the district’s superintendent search from consultant Dave Fristay of Brenmire Leader Services, who outlined recruitment milestones and community engagement plans.
Fristay said the application window will close Jan. 25 and the board should expect a candidate summary by Jan. 26; semi‑final candidate review could occur the week of Feb. 4 in closed session, with semi‑final interviews conducted electronically to narrow the field. Finalists would be invited for an all‑day in‑district visit, mixed‑group interviews and community panels, with a target date of March 12 for full‑day finalist presentations and the board’s decision process.
“We rely on community input and mixed interview groups — teachers, staff, parents and community members — to evaluate finalists,” Fristay told the board, describing a process of mixed-group moderation, standardized questions and confidential handling of applicants until finalists are announced.
Board members discussed logistics for group composition and scheduling, and agreed to dates for preliminary candidate review and subsequent interview steps. Staff will publish final dates and instructions for community participation.
