The Green Bay Area Public School District board voted to offer Michael Hernandez a contract to serve as the district's next superintendent after reconvening into open session following closed deliberations.
Clerk Lynn read the motion: "I move that Michael Hernandez be offered a contract to serve as the next superintendent of the Green Bay Area Public School District." A second was recorded. Board members then offered brief remarks before a roll call and the chair declared the motion carried.
Board member Andrew thanked CESA 7's consultants, calling it "probably the...best superintendent search process that we've had" and saying the district was "in a great position" with two "outstanding candidates." Board member Alex also praised CESA 7 and told the public the search "was worth a million dollars and we paid but a penny," adding that while they had particular priorities, the chosen candidate brought "an immense amount of... strong assets." Board member Samantha thanked community members and staff who participated in multiple feedback sessions, calling the turnout and input "really incredible." Janette and Laura echoed those thanks; Laura named Aaron of CESA 7 for his role in the process.
The transcript records a roll-call of board members after the discussion. Multiple members responded "I" in favor and at least one response of "No" is audible; the meeting recorder then shows "Motion carries." The transcript's segmentation makes one or more individual roll-call entries unclear, so the public record in this transcript does not provide an unambiguous, per-member tally. The board declared the motion approved and then moved to adjourn.
The hiring motion offers Michael Hernandez a contract; the transcript does not specify the contract's terms, start date or salary. The board repeatedly credited CESA 7 for leading the superintendent search and thanked both community participants and district staff for their input. The meeting adjourned after the motion carried.
