Board announces two finalists for director position, sets interview and vote dates
Summary
The board announced Jonathan Duncan and Travis Mayfield as the top two director candidates and set finalist interviews for May 13, a budget work session May 11, a special-called budget vote May 18, and a director vote May 20; the board agreed to record interviews and release them after.
Ms. Owens announced the two finalists for the director position: Jonathan Duncan and Travis Mayfield. Board members discussed logistics for finalist school visits, suggested HR coordinate school tours and agreed on an interview format that includes general questions and shorter follow-ups.
"So the top the top 2 candidates are gonna be Jonathan Duncan and Travis Mayfield," Ms. Owens said as she made the announcement. The board agreed to schedule interviews beginning at noon on May 13, with recordings to be released later rather than live-streamed. The timeline included a May 11 budget work session, a May 18 special-called vote on the budget and a May 20 special-called meeting to vote on the new director.
Why it matters: Hiring a new director is the district’s most senior personnel decision and the board moved forward with a transparent scheduling approach that includes recorded interviews and school visit arrangements.
Next steps: HR will coordinate finalist visits to selected schools; the board will reconvene to vote in a special-called session after interviews and prior to the May 20 director vote.
