IV.A. Discussion and Consideration of Motion to Defer selection of next Superintendent until the new school Board is seated.
|
|
| Presenter: |
Board President Dwaine Shaw Jr.
|
|
|
Description:
At the end of the last meeting Nancy Goodman made a motion to this affect, seconded by Cathy Foes. Mr. Buresh deemed the action illegal as it wasn't on the approved agenda and consulted the District attorney who confirmed. The Board agreed to put it on the agenda for this meeting. It will need a motion and a second to be voted on. Otherwise it will die.
Recommendation: Board member Nancy Goodman either makes the motion to Defer the Selection of the next Superintendent until the new school Board is seated or withdraws her request. That would be followed by Board member Cathy Foes seconding the motion as she did at the last meeting and then voting on it. That is only my recommendation because of the actions at the last Board meeting. In reality, anybody on the Board can make the motion and/or second it. If it was on the original agenda last month, I would have recommended that it was voted on and disapproved, thus having the current Board vote on the hiring of the next Superintendent. If there is a motion to Defer selection of next Superintendent until the new school Board is seated, a second, and it passes, the meeting will adjourn immediately as there is no merit for the rest of the agenda. |

IV.C. Closed Session for Purpose of Discussing: (1) the Appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees or the public body, including hearing testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee to determine its validity

| Presenter: |
Mr. Buresh

Description:
*****Anytime school personnel or individual student issues are discussed, the discussion needs to take place in Closed Session, with action only coming in Open Session.
As agreed, we will be going into Closed Session to consider a final contract for Matt Nordstrom. The Finance Committee and Mr. Buresh met, and attached is the final contract that all have agreed to be presented for your review and action. The contract was originally drafted by the District attorney and then modified. The District attorney had the final say in language that is in the contract. The original sample is also included that was drafted by the attorney for your comparisons, as well as an approximate total cost of the financial package for the Superintendent candidate for the 2018-2019 school year. If any adjustments are agreed to be made, these will be done in Closed session, the contract reprinted, with the intention of offering Matt Nordstrom a contract when reconvening to Open Session. I absolutely see no reason to make any adjustments in language as it has been revised multiple times by the District attorney. The committee was also told not to make the contract any less financially than the sample one was, thus, from my point of view, the only thing that you may consider is increasing any of the financial items. In reality, a lot of time and effort went into this final contract that is being presented. IF YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER WANT ANY LANGUAGE CHANGE, I ASK THAT THIS BE SUBMITTED TO ME BY TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 2017 BY 8:30 AM SO THAT I CAN HAVE IT CONSIDERED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF THE BOARD BEFORE THE MEETING. IF THERE ARE NO SUBMISSIONS BY THIS DATE AND TIME, I EXPECT EVERYBODY TO BE ACCEPTABLE OF THE FINAL LANGUAGE PROVIDED AND APPROVED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. |
