Board to decide internal or abbreviated external search after two candidates apply
Summary
Administrators said two candidates have applied and presented options: conduct an internal search using district staff, or hire an abbreviated external search firm (WSB) to facilitate interviews, help write questions and advise on negotiation; the board will discuss and decide in late June/July.
Speaker 1 told the committee the district received two candidates in response to the posting and described options for the board to consider between an internal process and an abbreviated external search run by WSB. The administration laid out advantages of each approach and said WSB could provide a retired-superintendent advisor, a bank of interview questions and help facilitate a compressed timeline if the board wanted external assistance.
Process options and timing: Administrators listed options for who to involve (staff, parents, community) and said an external firm could compress steps and reduce travel and cost because an advisor lives locally. The full board was scheduled to discuss and make a final decision at the June 30/July meeting; administrators said they will provide cost estimates and candidate materials in advance.
Next steps: Administrators asked board members to indicate how much community and staff involvement they want in the hiring process and to send any additional questions or information requests to staff ahead of the full-board meeting.
