Teachers ask board to add certified faculty representatives to superintendent search committee
Summary
A letter read into the record on July 7, 2026 asked the Regional School District 19 board to add two certified faculty representatives chosen by union leadership to the superintendent hiring and interview committee and to keep them through the interview and hiring process.
The board received correspondence dated June 10, 2026 asking that two certified faculty representatives, chosen by union leadership, be added to the superintendent hiring and interview committee and remain on the panel through the end of the interview and hiring process.
The letter, read into the record, argued that teacher participation provides daily operational insight, helps build trust after recent administrative transitions, and improves the odds that a new superintendent will enter the district with faculty buy‑in. The correspondence said it did not seek to disrupt the search timeline but asked to partner with the board to ensure candidates reflect the leadership profile developed during Cooperative Educational Services (CES) focus groups.
The chair said the only body that can consider this request is the standing search committee and that the committee would provide a response following its next meeting.
