Board selects firm to lead permanent superintendent search
What happened
The board voted unanimously to offer the superintendent-search contract to Grundmeyer Leader Services. The selection advances the district’s search for a permanent superintendent; board members said they still wanted to discuss the firm’s community-engagement approach.
Why it matters to families
The firm will help recruit and vet candidates for the district’s next superintendent, a districtwide leadership decision affecting all schools.
The evidence
At the Oct. 27 meeting, the board discussed the finalists and community input, then unanimously approved a motion to offer the contract to Grundmeyer Leader Services. The motion authorized an offer; the record does not establish that a contract had already been signed.
