EDWise presents superintendent search profile to joint Corning–Villisca school boards
Summary
At a March 31 joint work session, EDWise consultant Paul Tedesco presented data from a superintendent search profile and the Corning and Villisca boards discussed interview protocol and search process. The boards approved the agenda and adjourned after the presentation; no hiring decision was made.
At a joint work session March 31, 2026, the boards of education for the Corning Community School District and the Villisca Community School District heard a presentation from Paul Tedesco of EDWise on a superintendent search profile and discussed interview protocol and next steps for the search. President Staci Venteicher called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Southwest Valley Middle School media center.
Tedesco presented data from the search profile intended to guide candidate screening and interview structure. Board members discussed the interview protocol and the overall search process; the transcript records discussion but does not specify changes to the published protocol or a decision on finalists. The meeting materials and presentation were described on the record as informing the boards’ approach to interviews rather than selecting a candidate.
Procedural actions taken during the work session were limited. Director Adam Boswell moved, and Director Stephanie Hodapp seconded, approval of the meeting agenda; the motion carried unanimously. Later, Director Trent Roberts moved, and Director Hodapp seconded, to adjourn; that motion also carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m.
No formal votes on hiring, candidate selection, or interview dates are recorded in the transcript. The presentation and discussion indicate the boards are moving forward with a structured search process using EDWise’s profile data; the transcript does not specify timelines, interview dates, or a deadline for selection.
Votes at a glance: two procedural motions were recorded. The agenda was approved (moved by Adam Boswell, seconded by Stephanie Hodapp; carried unanimously). The motion to adjourn was moved by Trent Roberts, seconded by Stephanie Hodapp; carried unanimously.
The work session provided the boards with consultant analysis to frame upcoming interview steps; no hiring decision was made and the transcript does not record future meeting dates or formal next steps beyond the discussion of interview protocol.
