VIII. Information for the Board
A. Interim Director of Schools
On December 31, by state law, you must have an interim director. How are
you going to receive interest from people and if you want an interim person
to be able to apply for Director of Schools? The budget is the board's
expression of your priorities. 1st order of business is the question of
waiving the policy of the interim not able to apply.
Anyone interested in serving as interim sends a short letter to the chair to
let the board know their interest. Those who write a letter then state
whether they want to be consider as the Director.
First topic on special called meeting should be whether or not 5.801 allows
interim candidates to apply for director of schools. The meeting will occur
at 6:30pm.
Motion that the board accept letters of interest for the interim position
with a deadline of 7 days prior to the meeting date (November 12) of
