Board sets an accelerated timeline for superintendent search, plans stakeholder input and interim interviews
Summary
The board discussed and tentatively approved an accelerated superintendent search timeline (announce no later than Jan. 5; application deadline Jan. 26; review and interviews in February) and agreed to consult union reps and stakeholders before finalizing interview dates.
The board reviewed a draft superintendent search timeline and agreed on an accelerated schedule intended to produce a hire by late February.
The draft timeline called for an announcement no later than Jan. 5 with an application deadline of Jan. 26, candidate review in late January and initial and final interview windows in February, culminating in a board meeting to hire on Feb. 23. Board members described the calendar as "aggressive" and discussed extending application windows slightly to allow stakeholder engagement. The board emphasized the importance of allowing union representatives, teachers and other stakeholder groups time to meet finalists and provide input.
Members also said the board intends to interview a candidate for an interim superintendent in executive session that evening. The timeline will be shared with the search firm (Deb Huffman at BSC, per the transcript) and adjusted after consultation with unions and key stakeholders.
Next steps: staff will share the draft timeline with BSC (search partner) and union leadership, revise dates as needed and return with a finalized schedule for board approval.
