Wyandanch board reviews superintendent candidates from Ray and Associates, then votes to enter executive session
Summary
At a special meeting, the Wyandanch Union Free School District board heard a presentation from Ray and Associates on superintendent candidates and then voted 6-0 to move into executive session to review the candidates.
President Leticia Walker opened a special meeting of the Wyandanch Union Free School District Board to hear presentations from executive search firm Ray and Associates on candidates for superintendent and said the presentation was expected to run about two hours.
Jessica Reed conducted roll call and confirmed Vice President Shirley Baker and Trustees Kathy Corbin, Shamika Brown, Felice Holder, James Crawford and Jerrod Morris were present. Walker said the district's mission is to “inspire the passion for learning and educating all students to achieve their full potential,” and introduced representatives from Ray and Associates.
Dr. Karen Hall of Ray and Associates, who identified herself as joining the meeting from St. Louis, thanked trustees and staff and said she was "honored to be here" as the firm prepared to present candidates. Board members were given a digital packet to follow the presentation.
Midway through the agenda a point of order was raised about public criticism and trustees discussed whether to review candidate materials in closed session. Trustee Shirley Baker moved to enter executive session to review the item, Trustee Shamika Brown seconded, and President Walker called the vote. The clerk reported a 6-0 tally; the board then entered executive session.
No public votes on hiring were recorded during the portion of the meeting in the public record provided. The meeting file does not specify any next public action or timeline for candidate interviews or a vote.
