Caldwell School District names Jeremy Scott Montoya sole finalist for superintendent

The Caldwell School District Board of Trustees selected Jeremy Scott Montoya as the sole finalist in the district's superintendent search, the district announced in a recorded episode this week.

The announcement followed a multi-day process: candidates met with community leaders at a morning "coffee connect," toured multiple school campuses, participated in a staff meet-and-greet, and answered questions at a well-attended community forum. On Friday, each finalist completed formal interviews with trustees.

The board "selected mister Jeremy Scott Montoya as the sole finalist for the superintendent position," the episode's presenter stated. Trustees will now begin contract negotiations and said they expect to finalize an agreement in the near future.

District officials encouraged community members, students and staff to participate throughout the process. The presenter thanked participants and the candidates for their time, preparation and engagement.

No vote tally, motion text, or named trustee who moved or seconded the selection was provided in the recording. The episode did not supply a calendar date for the selection, nor did it list additional details about the terms proposed in upcoming contract negotiations.

The superintendent search process described in the recording included public-facing events designed to gather stakeholder feedback; the board's next public update is expected after contract negotiations conclude or a final appointment is posted.
