Superintendent Selection Processin progress
Status set at the Regular School Board Meeting on Oct 6, 2025
The school board is conducting a formal superintendent selection process with the assistance of Dr.
Phyllis Pajardo, an education consultant engaged to guide the district through the search. Dr. Pajardo first presented the process and a monthly timeline spanning August through November 2025 at the August 4, 2025 special meeting.
At the September 15, 2025 regular meeting, she returned to provide an update reviewing that timeline and sharing stakeholder input data collected over the prior month; no action was taken at that meeting. An additional update from Dr. Pajardo was scheduled for the October 6, 2025 regular meeting, though no minutes or action report from that meeting is yet available.
The process remains ongoing as of the latest available record.
