Dayton School Board unanimously authorizes consultant to investigate complaint against superintendent
Summary
After an executive session, the Dayton School Board voted unanimously to hire a consultant to investigate a complaint filed against Superintendent Dr. Amy Fast; the action followed a closed-session review under Oregon public records law.
The Dayton School District No. 8 Board of Directors voted unanimously on June 10 to hire an external consultant to investigate a complaint filed against Superintendent Dr. Amy Fast.
Director Kraig Albright moved the authorization, which Director Tern Paysinger seconded; the motion passed 6–0 after the board returned from an executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(b),(0),(f). Board Chair Larry Ringnalda announced the executive session’s statutory bases for confidentiality before the vote. The board did not disclose details of the complaint during the public meeting.
Board members explicitly used the executive-session allowances in state law to hear complaints and to evaluate the superintendent’s employment-related performance before voting to retain a consultant. No timetable or firm consultant name was provided at the meeting; the motion’s minutes note that the board authorized consultation to investigate the complaint.
The board reconvened into open session at 8:20 p.m. and took the formal vote immediately afterward. Chair Ringnalda thanked staff at the close of the meeting; no additional action or personnel decisions were announced publicly at that time.
