AGISD board set to review superintendent apps
The application deadline for a new school superintendent for Alba-Golden ISD passed Wednesday.
According to the school board’s adopted timeline, review of the applications will begin on Tuesday, May 19. The first round of interviews is planned May 26-28, with followup interviews June 2-4.
The vote to name a finalist is scheduled June 8, which will give the board the chance to confirm a contract after the mandatory 21-day waiting period on June 30.
The new superintendent could report to work as soon as July 8.
Monday, Interim Superintendent Eddie White said the district had received 57 applications as of Friday.
He asked the board members to plan for at least a three-hour meeting on May 19 to review applications.
Board members also discussed future building projects on Monday, including experience with a building project as a factor in hiring the new superintendent.
The district is looking at improved ag facilities and the need for elementary classrooms and a gym.
Board President Jason Stovall said projects had been put on hold until the new superintendent comes on board.
The board had initially considered trying to get a bond proposal on the November ballot, but that has been pushed back.
Board member Chad Dailey said the board needs to define the district’s needs and get projects out for bid.
The board agreed to have facts and figures available to consider at the next board meeting June 8.
White said he would also invite the district’s bond counsel to outline how much bond capacity the district has, which will determine how much money can be raised for construction projects.
