The Chico ISD Board of Trustees on March 12 voted unanimously to hire CCR Educational Consultants to conduct the district's superintendent search.
Trustee Jada Ayala moved for the hiring, saying, "I move we approve hiring CCR Educational Consultants to conduct the Superintendent Search for Chico ISD as presented." Trustee Chris Laney seconded the motion, which the board recorded as a 6-0 vote (Kyle Grimes, Chris Laney, Jada Ayala, Chance Earp, Ubaldo Garcia and Phillip Liebel voting yes; Cassie Skinner absent).
The contract details and any accompanying timeline were not discussed publicly at length during the meeting record. The board simultaneously tabled consideration of a proposed search timeline until March 23, 2026; that timeline will determine the next procedural steps for candidate outreach and application deadlines.
Board members cited the need to follow a formal search process and to move forward with outside expertise; however, specific contract terms and any deliverables from CCR Educational Consultants were not included in the public agenda or the posted motion. The board held closed sessions during the meeting on several personnel and related matters, and reconvened to approve unspecified items from closed session (the public record does not list those items).
