Board approves superintendent search timeline; job posting set to go live
Summary
Trustees approved a search timeline that posts the superintendent job the following day, schedules a community survey and sets slate and interview meetings in April and May; consultants will screen applicants and present a narrowed slate to the board.
The board voted to approve the timeline for its superintendent search and reviewed a working draft of candidate criteria prepared by search consultants.
Consultant Hank (speaker 29) said the job posting will go live beginning tomorrow, accompanied by a community survey to gather input on candidate priorities. He described a multi-step schedule: posting and applicant collection, consultant screening and preliminary interviews, a slate meeting on April 13 to select an initial pool, first-round in-person interviews mid-April, and final-round interviews April 30—27 through May 1.
Board members debated whether to finalize the candidate criteria tonight or treat the document as a working draft. Trustees asked consultants to ensure the publicly posted materials are clear that the criteria are not ranked and that community feedback will be incorporated. A motion to approve the timeline and accept the draft criteria for publication with additions (including a reference to "service above self") passed with board approval.
Why it matters: The timeline sets the search cadence and dates when candidates will be evaluated; trustees emphasized the importance of public input and clarity on expectations for finalists.
Next steps: Consultants will post the job, collect applications, provide the portal link to trustees, run preliminary interviews and return a recommended slate on the timeline the board approved.
