North River board extends superintendent posting after closed-door review
Summary
After a closed-door executive session under RCW 42.30.110(G) to evaluate candidates, the North River School District board took no action but extended the superintendent posting to attract more applicants.
The North River School District Board of Directors met on April 24, 2025, and entered an executive session under RCW 42.30.110(G) to evaluate the qualifications of applicants for public employment related to the superintendent search. The board recessed into executive session at 6:21 p.m. and returned at 6:51 p.m., with no formal action taken during the closed session.
Following the executive session, the board decided to extend the superintendent posting to allow more applicants to apply. The minutes state the board "returned at 6:51 PM there was no action taken. However, they are extending the superintendent posting to allow more applicants to apply." The minutes do not specify a new closing date for the posting or additional recruitment steps.
The extension means the district will continue accepting applications while the board completes its review process. The board did not vote to appoint a finalist at the meeting and indicated the posting extension is intended to broaden the applicant pool. The board’s use of RCW 42.30.110(G) authorizes closed evaluation of applicants; the district recorded the session length and that no action was taken when it resumed public session.
