Creswell board enters contract negotiations with Amy Aguero for superintendent

The Lane County School District 40 Board of Directors announced on April 1, 2026, that it has entered contract negotiations with Amy Aguero for the position of superintendent of Creswell School District. Board Chair Kandice Lemhouse Worsham made the announcement during a special meeting at the district office conference room.

"We are pleased to announce we have entered contract negotiations with Amy Aguero for the position of Superintendent of Creswell School District," Chair Kandice Lemhouse Worsham said, noting the board selected Aguero after a comprehensive search and multiple interviews. Worsham praised the "leadership work she has already done in our district and her deep commitment to the Creswell community," and said the board values her "strong focus on high-quality teaching and learning."

The announcement described contract negotiations and a comprehensive background check as the final steps of the superintendent search. The minutes note the board thanked outgoing leadership, saying Mike Johnson’s seven years leading the district contributed to interest from a strong candidate pool. The board did not take a formal appointment vote at the public meeting and described the personnel deliberations as advancing through contract discussions rather than a final action.

The board moved into a separate executive session later in the meeting to review and evaluate employment-related performance as allowed by state statute; the public record for that session is limited by law, and the minutes state that no decision would be made in executive session.
