Board outlines screening, ranking and reference-check process for superintendent finalists

Kenyon-Wanamingo School District School Board · April 14, 2025

Summary

The board agreed to rank applicants (redacted when appropriate), use a small group to pre‑screen applications, keep identities confidential until finalists are named, and stage reference checks after the second-round interviews. AJ volunteered to handle some reference calls.

Board members agreed on a screening and ranking approach to manage a compressed hiring timeline. Reviewers will receive applications (with guidance on redaction in early stages), rank candidates and return results to Trisha. The group discussed protecting candidate confidentiality because many applicants may still be employed elsewhere.

AJ volunteered to assist with reference checks, and the board said it would start contacting references only for finalists (typically after the second round of interviews). Members emphasized that the selection committee should coordinate closely and limit public discussion of applicant identities until finalists are officially named.
