Board sets application deadline and interview process for new member
Summary
The Santiam Canyon School Board set Jan. 29 as the deadline for new board-member packets and agreed to interview applicants publicly using a standard set of questions; the board will use three questions with one revised to ask applicants why they want to serve and what skills they bring.
The Santiam Canyon School Board discussed procedures for filling a current board vacancy and confirmed that new member packets are due by Jan. 29. The board noted there are three interested people who applied during the last opening and agreed to follow the same public interview format used previously.
Board members agreed to use the same set of questions for each applicant, limiting questions to three. Superintendent Krista Nieraeth suggested changing one question to ask, "Why do you want to be on the board and what skills do you bring to the board." The board reiterated that the full appointment process must be conducted in public and that all candidates will be asked the same questions.
The board did not take a formal appointment at this meeting; next steps include collecting applications and scheduling public interviews.
