Estes Park School Board appoints David Grubbs as superintendent

The Estes Park School District R-3 board voted to appoint finalist David Grubbs as the district's next superintendent during its April 20 regular meeting.

A board member moved to approve a resolution appointing David Grubbs and named him as the finalist; another board member seconded the motion. In discussion, a board member said Grubbs "came to us highly recommended" and praised his "professionalism, heart and leadership," saying he had earned support from administration, faculty, students, parents and community members. Another director noted Grubbs's long leadership experience and said he believed Grubbs "is the right person to lead the Estes Park School District in its continued success."

The board conducted a roll-call vote; members recorded aye votes and the chair announced the motion passed. The transcript does not record a start date or contract details; the resolution and the appointment were the formal action taken on the record at this meeting.

Board comments thanked the search partners and community participants in the superintendent search process; the chair extended the board's appreciation to the finalists and to HYA for support during the search.

The appointment concludes the public phase of the superintendent search as recorded in the meeting minutes; the board did not record additional conditions or a vote tally breakdown beyond recorded aye votes in the public roll call.
