Districts having a bench is a good thing, about 1/3 of hires are from within, rather than going for a search. #schcomss0208 public process of hiring, posted agenda, quorum of committee, them up to the committee to do so;

If you are transparent, say what you want and then do it, that works; problems arise when you don't follow through #schcomss0208 the public needs to follow along without getting surprised

Underway about 15 which may not be all of them; #schcomss0208 no dwindling of applications for open positions, some in central admin didn't jump last year, some are this year. Position here wouldn't see the competition other open spots have, geographic/size district etc.

There are ways to expedite a search (i.e. have some one do the prescreen and provide final candidates) MASC does that, but not why they are here tonight. #schcomss0208 a search firm will staff the detail work, confirming requirements, profile, application process, etc.

Search firm can be a firm fee or a menu of items, can range from $10,500 and up... #schcomss0208 brought timeline could be 3 months for a regular search process. If search is not done in time, then an interim is required as one is needed

Community needs to be part of the search process or at least be comfortable with the candidate selected #schcomss0208 waivers tend to come up from a retiree returning

Even if an internal candidate is available, then it can be a consideration to be part of the search process to ensure getting "the" best candidate. #schcomss0208

Q on other community examples? would need to check with her colleagues, she is unfortunately blanking at the moment. #schcomss0208 if there is a strong internal candidate, it will be "known" and some applicants will know also and not apply

Consultant would provide the sorted listing of candidates to the subcommittee in executive session for review and discussion to select the 'semifinalists'; when the search comm comes to finalists then it becomes a public process #schcomss0208

Search committee can conduct the discussion/whittling in a posted executive session meeting. #schcomss0208

Meeting about to adjourn
