PEER Solutions consultant Greg Vandal met with the Board of Education to finalizing plans to conduct the unfolding superintendent search.

The current job description for the superintendent will be reviewed by the Board and, if necessary, revised.

The timeline for activity was refined. The following benchmark dates were determined: 

• The posting will remain open from December 17 through February 1. 

• Focus group meetings will be held on January 15. 

• Board members will “score” a subset of the applicants from February 7 to February 11.
