Summary

The superintendent told the board she would delay posting the special education director position until timber-revenue figures are known in August so the district can finalize beginning and ending fund balances and assess budget impact.

Superintendent (speaker 1) informed the board that the district will delay posting the special education (SPED) director position until timber-revenue numbers arrive in August, saying the timber payment affects the district's beginning and ending fund balances and will guide whether the district can support the role.

"I would really like to, at this point, hold off until our next meeting in August and talk a little bit more about that position once we see what our timber revenue is looking like," the superintendent said. Board members discussed timing and hiring logistics; one member recommended posting the position within weeks to allow for application and interview windows so the role could be filled before the school year begins. The board agreed to revisit the matter at the August meeting once final timber-revenue figures are available.
