Summary
The Steamboat Springs School District Board of Education held public superintendent interviews on April 14, 2026, heard from three finalists and approved the meeting agenda; the board said it will meet in executive session after interviews to discuss contract negotiations under Colorado open‑meetings law.
The Steamboat Springs School District No. Re 2 Board of Education opened a public meeting at 7:58 a.m. on April 14 to begin interviews of superintendent finalists and to handle routine business. The board approved the meeting agenda and outlined a schedule of interviews, a lunch break at 12:45 p.m., and a reconvening at 1:15 p.m.
Board members said interviews are open to the public but that the board will not take public comment during the candidate sessions. Board leadership told attendees that, after candidate reports from interview teams, the board expects to meet in executive session to “instruct the personnel representatives to begin contract negotiations with one or more candidates and the necessary process to prioritize finalists,” citing Colorado law provisions protecting confidential negotiation documents.
The agenda was approved by recorded voice votes from the members present. Board members and staff reviewed logistics for interview teams — which include district staff, high‑school students and community members — and clarified procedures for keeping and retaining interviewer notes.
The meeting included extended candidate interviews; the board reserved final action (naming a finalist or appointing a negotiator) to a later moment after the executive‑session discussions. The board said if it is not ready to act it will hold a special meeting on April 15 at 7:30 a.m. at the district office to continue the process.
