Motion to authorize assistant-principal interviews fails after board split
Summary
A motion to authorize administration to interview candidates for the assistant principal position — with some members urging bilingual preference — failed on a 4–5 roll-call vote. Several board members said they needed more data and cautioned against mandatory bilingual requirements in postings.
Board members considered a motion authorizing administration to interview candidates for the secondary assistant principal position. One member proposed adding a bilingual requirement; others cautioned that posting language must be carefully worded and that preference could be listed rather than required. After a roll-call vote, the motion failed: "The yeses are 4. The noes are 5. The motion fails."
Several board members said they were not convinced the position should be filled immediately and requested discipline data and other comparative figures before authorizing interviews; supporters argued the presence of budgeted funds and prior success of the role justified moving forward.
