Board weighs interim versus full hire for Crow-Applegate-Lorane SD 66 principal
Summary
Board members debated appointing an interim principal or conducting a full search for Crow-Applegate-Lorane SD 66. About 10 applications were reported; the board deferred final action pending review of candidates and budget concerns.
Board members discussed whether to appoint an interim principal for Crow-Applegate-Lorane SD 66 or complete a full hiring process, but they did not make a final decision. The chair proposed returning next week to "vote on just the numbers," and staff said about 10 applicants have been received for the posting.
The group weighed the benefits of an interim appointment — which could provide immediate leadership — against hiring someone for a longer term. One participant said the posting lists the role as interim but noted the interim candidate would be "invited to apply for a long term position." The board also discussed a July 10 start date for a new principal and that the departing principal's pay stops on July 1, factors that affected the timing of any hire.
