Board agrees process to interview/appoint SAU administrative assistant

The SAU reported one fully completed application and three additional expressions of interest for the administrative-assistant-to-the-superintendent position. Due to timing, the business office requested permission to interview candidates and bring one or two finalists to a joint-board meeting for review and hiring approval.

Board members agreed to permit SAU staff to conduct initial interviews and to schedule a special joint meeting (or attach the finalist discussion to an upcoming district meeting with a remote-access option) so members can meet candidates before voting. A board member cautioned against relying solely on email approvals. The board did not take a formal vote on hiring yet; it affirmed the process approach and asked staff to proceed with candidate outreach.
