File Attachment:
Background: On June 30, 2024, the resignation of Superintendent Keith Posley became effective. On August 29, 2024, the Board approved a contract with Hazard, Young, Atea & Associates (HYA) to conduct a search for a new superintendent. On September 26, 2024, the Board approved a salary range of $275,000 – 350,000 and the position was posted for recruitment, with an application deadline of November 30, 2024. In September and October 2024 HYA facilitated a community engagement effort that included interviews, focus groups, and a survey and used the feedback to create a candidate profile for the position. The application process closed on November 30, 2024. On December 17, 2024, the Board considered the applications received and opted to re-open the application process, in order to deepen the candidate pool. On January 11, 2025, the Board determined which candidates it wished to interview. The purpose of this meeting is to conduct candidate interviews. The Board may retire to a closed session for this purpose, pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(c), which allows the Board to convene in executive session for the purpose of “considering employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility,” the Board may convene in closed session for the purpose stated above.
