Lake Stevens School Board interviews superintendent candidates and reconvenes from executive session with no action

The Lake Stevens School District Board of Directors interviewed candidates for the district superintendent position on April 13, 2024, recessed midday, and held a 90‑minute executive session before reconvening without taking action.

President Mari Taylor called the Special Meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. at the Educational Service Center and reviewed the day’s procedures and webinar access. The board completed roll call; the record states all directors were present and that Superintendent Ken D. Collins did not attend the meeting.

Director Paul Lund moved to approve the April 13, 2024 agenda; Director David Iseminger seconded the motion. The board approved the agenda unanimously.

According to the meeting record, the board conducted interviews of candidates for the superintendent position. The transcript line reads "sue candidates," which appears to be a transcription error; the record does not list candidate names or provide additional identifying details. The board took a break from 12:05 p.m. to 12:55 p.m.

At 3:00 p.m. President Mari Taylor announced the board would move into a 90‑minute executive session "to discuss superintendent candidates." The board reconvened the Special Meeting at 4:30 p.m.; the meeting record states that no action was taken during the executive session and no appointment was announced.

The meeting record includes a notation of adjournment around 4:30 p.m. and standard closing lines from the district secretary and the district mission statement.
