Superintendent Selection Processin progress
Status set at the Regular School Board Meeting on Oct 6, 2025
The school board is conducting a superintendent selection process facilitated by Dr.
Phyllis Pajardo, an external education consultant. Dr. Pajardo presented the initial process overview 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 with an update reviewing the timeline and sharing stakeholder input data collected over the prior month; no action was taken. A third update by Dr. Pajardo was scheduled for the October 6, 2025 regular meeting, though no minutes or action record is yet available for that session.
The process remains ongoing, with community engagement — including a superintendent selection forum and an online survey — as active components of the search.
Still open
