Summary

Trustees agreed to an information night for candidates and debated an application window; members proposed an information session on the 27th and recommended leaving public applications open two to three weeks so candidates can prepare.

The board discussed the process and timing for filling an anticipated vacancy, including public outreach and an information night for potential applicants. Members proposed scheduling an information night on Monday the 27th (date context in the meeting indicated the session would be held in the Jan/Feb timeframe) and debated how long to keep the application window open; several trustees recommended two to three weeks so prospective candidates can prepare materials around the winter break.

Trustees also discussed outreach strategies — using school newsletters, PTA contacts and district social media — to let community members know about the vacancy and the application process. One trustee emphasized booking outreach events early so the district can promote them and people have time to arrange to attend. Board members asked staff to use an updated candidate-presentation slide deck and to plan an information night that is accessible to parents and community members.
