Today, Catskill Central shared this information with the Catskill community by email and on its website:
Dear Catskill Community,
The Board of Education would like to send an update to the community regarding the Superintendent search. We hired a search consultant, conducted a full search, interviewed candidates, and brought back three finalists that our community met with. We are very pleased with the completeness of the process and the interest of everyone involved. The Board offered employment to one candidate who accepted. Unfortunately, the candidate then withdrew. The Board pivoted and offered employment to another well-qualified candidate who accepted, then withdrew. Needless to say, this was very disappointing to the entire Board.
At this time, the Board of Education is continuing to explore its options and continue its search. Thank you to our community and stakeholders for their patience while we continue to maneuver this process.
Sincerely,
The Catskill Central School District Board of Education
The consultant hired by Catskill Central School District is Mike Ford of School Leader Search.
Why can't HCSD BOE get some sense, tell the public what went wrong with the last two Supt hires, tell us what they are looking for in a Supt, and then tell us why they have to spend tens of thousands of dollars tilting at windmills when we have qualified people in the district. Oh yes, and what are they going to do to improve student literacy? I thought being a board member was public service not public stonewalling.
ReplyDeleteIt’s more fun to spend as much money as possible when you can.
ReplyDeleteBoard meeting held in the library most uninviting to the public no room and not one extra chair set out.
Have you been to a board meeting in the high school auditorium?
DeleteYes why aren’t they all held where there is adequate seating?
