Klamath County SD superintendent to retire; board hires search firm to lead replacement process
Summary
Superintendent Schmoyak told the Klamath County SD board he will retire effective June 30; the board engaged Hayden Capital Enterprise to run the superintendent search and will use administrator survey results to inform the process.
The board chair said Superintendent Schmoyak informed the Klamath County School District board that he will retire effective June 30.
The chair announced the board has engaged Hayden Capital Enterprise to conduct the district's superintendent search and said one of the firm's consultants was present at the special meeting to outline the process. "He's informed the board of his decision to retire effective June 30," the chair said.
Why it matters: The board said selecting a new superintendent is its primary responsibility at this time and will require focused time and attention. The chair said the board has reviewed results of an administrator survey and "values the honest feedback that was shared," and that the survey input will help guide the search.
Board members emphasized the need to maintain district operations while the search proceeds and discussed whether broader stakeholder groups should be included in future surveys. The chair described the process as intended to be "thoughtful and transparent." The special meeting included discussion of next steps but did not include a formal vote on hiring or search procedures.
What happens next: The district will work with the search firm on a timeline and outreach plan; the board said it will incorporate survey feedback into the search but did not set a public decision date during the meeting.
