2. Applicants will be asked to draw a number for the order in which they will be
interviewed by the Board.
3. The meeting will be called to order by the Board President at 4:00 PM.
4. At approximately 4:30 PM while the other applicants remain in the conference
room, in numerical order beginning with one (1), applicants will stand at the podium
before the Board and will be asked four interview questions, one question after the
next. Each applicant will be given two and a half (2m 30s) minutes maximum to
answer each question for a total interview time of ten (10) minutes for each
applicant. After completion of the interview, the applicant will sit in a designated
chair behind the podium in the Board Room.
5. At the conclusion of the first round of interviews, the Board members will engage
in a discussion of the applicants’ qualifications in front of the public. No further
questioning of the applicants may take place. Any Board member may nominate an
applicant at any time, or when appropriate, the Board President will call for a
nomination of an applicant and a second of that nomination for that same applicant.
The Board President will also ask for any additional nominations and seconds. If only
one applicant is nominated and seconded, the Board will then vote for that one
nominee. If the majority of the Board votes in favor of the nominee, the Interview
and Voting Process concludes and the nominee is declared a Board member upon
taking an Oath of Office any time after February 17, 2022, administered by the
Superintendent.
6. If more than one nomination occurs and no further nominations are forthcoming,
the Board President will thank the applicants not nominated for their time and ask
those who were nominated to prepare for one more question in the second round of
interviews. One question will be asked of each nominee. Each nominee will be given
two and a half (2m 30s) minutes maximum to answer the question. At the conclusion
of the second round of interviews, the Board members will engage in a discussion in
front of the public. When appropriate the Board President will call for a nomination
of an applicant and a second of that nomination for that same applicant. The process
repeats until only one nominee receives three or more votes.
