Community members press board for clarity on superintendent hiring process
Summary
Public commenters asked why Principal Jason Armstrong’s application was not accepted and sought details on who served on the interview committee, prompting the board to note the matter is tied to closed-session personnel procedures.
Public commenters at the Feb. 12 Corning Union High School District board meeting raised questions about the superintendent hiring process and why Principal Jason Armstrong’s application was not accepted.
"Hiring of new Supt and how important this role is," Olivia Gross-Juaregui said during public comment, asking how the process works and why Mr. Armstrong’s application was not accepted. Corine Maday asked, "Who was on the committee? Was the director of HR there and why or why not?" Brad Schreiber and Alisha Savage also questioned the number of applicants interviewed and whether candidates had prior administrative experience.
Board members did not make a public decision during the comment period; the agenda included closed-session items related to public employment and the superintendent (agenda items 10.1–10.3). The board’s agenda directs any announcement of action taken in closed session to be made under Item 12, but no such announcement was made on the public record during this meeting.
The public comments requested procedural detail about the interview panel and selection criteria; the board did not provide additional public responses during the session. The concerns raised will be part of the official record and may be addressed when the board reports any closed-session action under the agenda’s procedures.
