Board schedules special meeting, outlines timeline and estimated start window for next superintendent
Summary
The board scheduled a special meeting for Sept. 10, 2026 to continue the search and was told a new superintendent27s start date could be affected by a candidate27s notice (3024120 days), making an estimated Jan. 1, 2027 start date possible but contingent.
Following the consultant27s presentation, the Barker board reviewed a proposed search timeline and availability. Board members agreed to hold a special meeting on Sept. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Library Media Center to review recruitment progress and finalist screening.
Dr. Farrar told the board that a candidate27s notice to a current employer could range from 30 to 120 days and that contract negotiation would involve NYSCOSS and the district attorney; she estimated an anticipated start date of January 1, 2027 but noted that the actual start date would depend on candidate notice periods and negotiation timelines. The board also discussed potential retreat dates and the NOSBA mixer on Aug. 26 as calendar items.
The appointment of the consultant begins Phase I planning and stakeholder outreach through August with follow-up meetings expected in early September.
