Vernonia SD 47J schedules March 4 meeting to pick superintendent search firm; chair tasked with research
Summary
The Vernonia School District 47J board directed its chair to research superintendent search agencies and scheduled a special meeting on March 4, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. to review proposals and select a vendor.
Board Chair Greg Kintz reported preliminary outreach on superintendent search agencies at the Feb. 19 special meeting and said the board will need to hire a firm to manage the superintendent recruitment process.
The board scheduled a Special Meeting for Wednesday, March 4 at 5:30 p.m. to review proposals and make a determination. Alicia Mahoney moved to direct the Board Chair to research superintendent search agencies; Amy Cieloha seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously.
The minutes note that Kintz had spoken with two different options in preliminary research but do not identify the firms or offer details about proposed costs, timelines, or services. The board's immediate direction was procedural: to gather proposals and reconvene on March 4 to choose a search firm and begin the recruitment timeline.
"Alicia Mahoney moved to direct the Board Chair to research superintendent search agencies," the minutes record. The board did not record further debate or alternatives in the published minutes.
