Perrysburg board moves to advertise vacancy after Larimer resignation; schedules interviews
Summary
Following Sue Larimer's resignation, the board voted to advertise the vacant seat, accept applications by noon on 08/10/2026, and hold candidate interviews on August 12 and August 14 with appointment slated for August 18 to meet a 30-day appointment deadline.
The board discussed and accepted the resignation of Sue Larimer and approved a timetable to fill the vacancy.
Staff recommended advertising the position immediately, collecting letters of interest and resumes by 12:00 p.m. on August 10, 2026, and scheduling special meetings for candidate interviews on August 12 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and August 14 (4 p.m. to 7 p.m.). Staff said appointment at the regular August 18 meeting would place the district within the 30-day window required to fill a board vacancy.
A motion to direct the treasurer to advertise the vacant Perrysburg School Board seat, require applications be received by 12PM on 08/10/2026, and set the special meeting dates for interviews and executive session was moved and seconded, and the motion passed on roll call.
Board members discussed operational details including whether to interview a reduced number of candidates given time constraints, the length of each interview (previous practice ranged from 15 to 20 minutes per candidate), and whether at least one evening time should be provided for candidates. The board asked to make the term in the advertisement explicit: appointment will fill the unexpired term through 12/31/2027.
Next steps: the treasurer will post the advertisement, collect candidate materials as directed, and staff will circulate the interview packet to board members ahead of the special meetings.
