Board emphasizes applicant confidentiality, outlines reference‑check plan
Summary
Members agreed to keep applications confidential, limit reference calls to finalists, and divide reference‑checking duties among volunteers after interview rounds.
Board members repeatedly stressed the confidentiality of applications and agreed to restrict reference checks until candidates are advanced to finalist status.
A board member warned that "these applicants are very private" and said references should not be contacted until the board has selected finalists. Members agreed volunteers would perform reference calls and recommended redacting identifying information during initial paper screening. The board also discussed practical timing: reference checks would follow the first‑ and second‑round interviews as appropriate and would be completed quickly to support prompt negotiation if a finalist is chosen.
The board chair reminded members to avoid public discussion of specific applicants until finalists are named and to treat applications as confidential personnel information. The board assigned Trisha and designated volunteers to manage reference outreach in keeping with that confidentiality plan.
