School board selects Dr. Tyrone Brookins as lone finalist for ISD 199 superintendent
Summary
In a 4-3 roll-call vote April 9, the Inver Grove Heights School Board named Dr. Tyrone Brookins its lone finalist for superintendent and authorized staff to negotiate a mutually agreeable employment contract, with the contingent offer motion passing 7-0.
The Inver Grove Heights School Board voted April 9 to select Dr. Tyrone Brookins as the lone finalist for superintendent following second-round interviews and reference checks. Member Klingner moved the selection, and Member Pierson seconded; the motion carried in a roll-call vote, 4-3.
After selecting Dr. Brookins, the board authorized negotiations on an employment contract. Member Pierson moved — and Member Dukes seconded — a motion to extend an offer contingent on reaching a mutually agreeable contract; that motion carried unanimously, 7-0. The minutes record that the board deliberated and reviewed reference checks before taking the selection vote. The board’s formal minutes state it voted to "select Dr. Brookins as the lone finalist for the position of superintendent." The minutes record the 4-3 result but do not list individual member votes for that roll call.
The second-round interviews included three finalists who presented to the board and answered questions from members. The board took a recess after interviews and later reconvened to deliberate and review references before the vote. The minutes do not include details of the finalists’ presentations or the terms under negotiation; the next procedural step is for district staff to pursue contract negotiations with Dr. Brookins and report back to the board.
