North Bend School Board accepts Superintendent Swagerty’s resignation; appoints Tim Crider as acting superintendent
Summary
The North Bend School District #13 Board voted unanimously Sept. 4 to accept Superintendent Swagerty’s resignation and appointed Assistant Superintendent Tim Crider as acting superintendent. The board delegated authority to the chair to execute the resignation agreement and voted 7-0 on the appointment.
The North Bend School District #13 Board of Directors on Sept. 4 approved a resignation agreement with Superintendent Swagerty and delegated authority to Board Chair Nathan McClintock to execute the agreement on the board’s behalf. Director Anna Huit introduced the motion, which passed unanimously.
Director DeAnne Wiedenmann then moved "to appoint Tim Crider as the Acting Superintendent," a motion seconded by Director Michelle Roberts and approved 7-0. Assistant Superintendent Tim Crider will assume the district’s day-to-day leadership while the board addresses next steps.
The action was taken at the start of the meeting after the board amended the agenda to add the resignation item. The board recorded a unanimous vote on both the resignation agreement and the subsequent appointment. Board Chair Nathan McClintock presided over the vote.
During public comment earlier in the meeting, community member Melissa Peck asked, "Where is Superintendent Swagerty’s salary going, can it be recirculated? Would like transparency." The transcript records the question but does not include a board response detailing budgetary treatment of the superintendent’s salary; the board later discussed budget roles and thanked staff for work on the budget.
The board’s action to appoint an acting superintendent is effective immediately; the board did not set a public timeline at the meeting for a search for a permanent superintendent.
