Parents and oversight member urge slower search and careful budgeting
Summary
Several public commenters, including CBOC chair Nate Schwartz, urged the board to slow the search process, compare costs of different approaches, and consider a Sept. 30 deadline referenced for an account; they also recounted past searches that produced few candidates.
Nate Schwartz, a parent and chair of the Citizens Budget Oversight Committee, asked the board to slow the superintendent search process and weigh cost differences among the three approaches. "Let's slow down the process. There it's not a 9 1 1," he said, urging the board to prioritize finding the best candidate over speed. Schwartz also referenced the prior search and said the University of Delaware was used last time.
Other parents and oversight members echoed calls for deliberation, noted the small candidate pools found previously, and asked the board to compare costs. One commenter called attention to a Sept. 30 deadline connected to an account but did not provide details; board members did not specify how that deadline would affect the timeline for choosing a process.
