Board authorizes chair to research superintendent search agencies
Summary
The Vernonia SD 47J board approved a motion authorizing the board chair to research superintendent search agencies and gather proposals, voting by voice to approve the measure and scheduling follow-up meetings to review candidate materials.
The Vernonia SD 47J board voted to authorize the board chair to research superintendent search agencies and to gather proposals for the district's upcoming superintendent search. "I make a motion to approve the board chair to research superintendent search agencies," a committee member said; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote after brief discussion.
Board members framed the vote as a procedural step to obtain formal proposals and candidate pitch materials for review. Committee member 2 summarized the special meeting purpose as "superintendent search agencies" and members discussed having pitch videos or in-person presentations so the board can compare options. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; two members voiced "aye" during the vote and no opposition was voiced.
Members asked the chair to obtain a formal proposal from the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) and to circulate candidate materials to the board packet before the follow-up meeting. The motion will allow the chair to request pricing, timelines, and deliverables from potential search firms and bring that information back to the board for a decision.
Next steps: board members agreed to hold a follow-up meeting the first week of March to review proposals and candidate pitch materials; the transcript references March 4 as the agenda-setting meeting date and a 5:30 p.m. meeting time.
