By Oliver Lazenby The Blaine school district board of directors will narrow its pool of superintendent applicants down to semifinalists at a public meeting on Monday, July 22 in the district office, but seeing that public process may take some patience.
The school board will review applicants for the position starting at 5:30 p.m. on July 22, in an executive session – a discussion closed to the public.
The board will open a public meeting once the closed discussion is finished. That could be as late as 8:30 p.m. but will not be before 6:30 p.m., according to the meeting schedule.
At 6:30 p.m., the board will announce to those in the lobby of the district office an estimate of when the public meeting will start. The board must make any decisions on the candidates in public, according to state law.
The school board will interview semifinalist candidates at a public meeting on August 10, and conduct a final round of interviews at an August 12 public meeting. The school board could also choose not to hire a new superintendent before school starts and instead hire an interim for the position.
The board’s list of priorities for its next superintendent is available at: bit.ly/BSDcriteria.
