Valley School District board advances four superintendent candidates to secondary interviews
Summary
The Valley School District board entered executive session to evaluate applicants and, after returning to open session, approved advancing candidates A, B, E and I to secondary interviews for the district’s open superintendent post. The meeting began at 10:00 a.m. and adjourned at 5:39 p.m.
Director Bill Wilson called the Valley School District special board meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. on April 28, 2026, and announced the presence of a quorum with Directors Doug Elledge, Nancy Cocroft, Paul Voelker and Crystal Hubert. The board then entered an executive session at 10:01 a.m. "to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment."
That closed session was expected to last approximately eight hours. The board returned to open session at 5:36 p.m. and took a formal action on the superintendent search. Director Bill Wilson moved "to move forward candidates A, B, E and I Recommendation to Interview" for secondary interviews; Director Paul Voelker seconded the motion, which "carried." The transcript does not provide a roll-call vote or a numerical tally.
The action advances four applicants to the next round of the district’s hiring process for its vacant superintendent position. The meeting record notes no additional debate or amendments to the motion in open session. With no further business, the board adjourned at 5:39 p.m. The minutes for this special meeting were signed on May 20, 2026.
What happened next: The board’s motion sends the named candidates into the district’s secondary interview stage; the transcript does not specify interview dates, evaluation criteria beyond "qualifications," or whether additional screening steps remain prior to a final appointment.
