Board asks where funds will come from to pay for a superintendent search
Summary
Board members probed how the district will pay for an external superintendent search and agreed to review financial details with district business staff before deciding whether to hire a search firm or split roles.
A board member asked directly, "Can I be reminded, where the funds get pulled from to pay for a service like that?" The moderator said the question would be referred to Marie for financial review and that the board needs to understand whether the district has designated funds for a search.
Members noted the district has no designated funds for an external search and that hiring a search firm would be an "added hit to the budget." They agreed to review financials with Marie before finalizing whether the superintendent posting should require SPED expertise or if the district should split the roles into two paid positions.
Board members asked the chair to obtain formal proposals and cost estimates to bring back to the board packet so the financial implications are clear at the follow-up meeting.
