There will be a special meeting of the Chelsea School District Board of Education on Wednesday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the board room at the Washington Street Education Center to continue the discussion about selection of an interim superintendent.
The board conducted a special meeting on May 31 to learn of possible candidates for the position.
At the regular meeting of the board on June 8, Steve Olsen, board president, presented the recommendation of the ad hoc committee, which consisted of Olsen and board members Anne Mann and Tammy Lehman. Based upon interviews of administrators, the president of the Chelsea Education Association, and solicitation of input from “the greater Chelsea education community,” as well as interviews of two candidates and consideration of the multiple requirements for the job, the committee recommended hiring David Killips to fill the interim superintendent position.
Olsen then provided an opportunity for board feedback. Greg Rhodes and Laura Bush expressed concern about choosing from a small pool of candidates. Dana Emmert and Laurel McDevitt supported meeting on June 10 for a more in-depth discussion of the issue.
