Search consultant outlines superintendent-screening schedule; 15–20 applicants expected and survey had 100+ responses
Summary
Search consultant Rob Hess presented a timeline for screening and finalist interviews on May 1, describing a plan that includes staff and community participation, 1-page candidate summaries, media/reference checks, and an expected applicant pool of 15–20 with more than 100 survey responses.
Rob Hess, the search consultant introduced during the meeting, walked the board through a multi-step process for choosing finalists. The plan calls for a screening night (to narrow applicants to roughly five to eight), semifinal Zoom interviews, and a May 1 finalist day with campus tours, small-group interviews and a public meet-and-greet. Hess said the district could expect roughly "15 to 20" total applicants and reported the community survey had "a little over a 100" responses.
Hess said screening materials will include one-page candidate summaries with references and highlights of any public media checks. The consultant recommended limiting the number of people on each stage to avoid repeating committee members across steps and suggested community members and staff would provide feedback via QR-code surveys during finalist events; the board approved adding the committee appointment as an action item later in the meeting.
