Board approves plan to vet superintendent search firms
Summary
The Swartz Creek Community Schools board voted to pursue four superintendent search firms and select one to proceed, with the possibility of using a virtual meeting with an Iowa firm; the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
Board President Carrie Germain opened the Aug. 13 regular meeting of the Swartz Creek Community Schools Board of Education. After preliminary business, the board discussed options for conducting the district's superintendent search.
Chuck Melki moved, and Kim Winter supported, a motion "to approve the search process by looking at four firms and choosing one to go from there. We can go with a virtual meeting with the Iowa firm if necessary." The motion passed on a roll call vote of 6-0. The discussion and vote formalize a multi-step process for the district to solicit and evaluate external search firms to lead the superintendent recruitment.
The decision directs staff to gather firm proposals and schedule interviews; the board discussed flexibility to meet virtually if a prospective firm is located out of state. The board did not name specific firms in the meeting record and did not set a firm selection deadline during the public portion of the meeting.
