Board: search costs unknown but an informal $75,000 figure has circulated
Summary
Board members said the district has not finalized a budget for the superintendent search; one board member mentioned an informal figure of about $75,000 for a search firm and said the citizen budget oversight committee will review budget lines in September.
Attendees pressed the board for a ballpark cost of the different search options. Board members said they do not yet have a confirmed number because the district's budget oversight committee (CBOC) has not met to set a line item for the search and the CFO had not provided a detailed estimate.
A board member noted an informal figure "around $75,000" associated with a University of Delaware search firm but cautioned it was not confirmed: "I heard 1 number was around $75,000 from the University of Delaware. I'm not sure if that's accurate," the member said. Board members said more general budget guidance could be posted online in the coming week and that a more detailed answer will be available after the CBOC meeting in September.
