Summary

After receiving a superintendent profile, the WEM Board voted unanimously to offer interviews to five candidates as it moves to fill the district's top job.

The WEM Board of Education voted March 24 to offer interviews to five candidates for the superintendent position following a presentation of the superintendent profile by consultant Jeff Bertrang. The board approved the motion to offer interviews to Darren Kern, Jennifer Wilson, Mike Neubeck, Michelle Mortensen and Mark Winter; the motion passed with seven members voting in favor.

Board Chairman Gary Michael opened the meeting and the action was taken on a motion by Jon Bakken, seconded by June Rezac. Bertrang presented the profile that guided the selection of interview candidates; the board did not record further details of the interview schedule in the minutes. The board noted that in-house interviews had been completed for a related "Single Site Update," and that additional information would be provided at the April board meeting.

The vote to advance interviews is a procedural step in the district's superintendent search process; the board did not adopt a candidate at this meeting. The board directed staff to proceed with arranging interviews for the named candidates.
