Multnomah ESD Board suspends Superintendent search - will re-open search in late 2015 or early 20166/16/2015 To: MESD Community and Partners
From: MESD Board of Directors Re: Superintendent Announcement Date: June 16, 2015 Multnomah ESD Board suspends Superintendent search - will re-open search in late 2015 or early 2016 Over the past four months the Multnomah Education Service District has conducted an extensive search for our next Superintendent. We can say with confidence that the process in its design and implementation strongly demonstrated our commitment to transparency and engagement with our community and stakeholders. We were fortunate to have staff and community members devoting a significant amount of time and energy to this process, and we gratefully acknowledge their contribution. We were pleased to receive applications from a highly qualified and passionate group of individuals. Last week we announced that two candidates had been selected as finalists and they participated in an all-day schedule of interviews, tours, and a public reception. At the conclusion of the day the Board met in Executive Session to discuss next steps. At the beginning of this search process, we believed that the wisest course of action was to bring new leadership and stability to the agency by acting promptly. It was our hope and intention that by selecting a Superintendent prior to July 1, we would lighten the load for the next Board, which includes three new members. Upon reflection, we have considered that we can best serve the agency by ensuring the success of the next Superintendent by having that individual selected by the Board with whom he or she will work. The Board, therefore, has chosen not to select a Superintendent at this time. Over the past several months, our Interim Superintendent, Jim Rose, has served the agency well and skillfully. We truly appreciate Mr. Rose’s willingness to serve in this capacity, and are very pleased to announce that he has agreed to continue serving in this role. Mr. Rose has restated that he does not wish to be considered for the permanent position and will serve only until the Board selects a permanent Superintendent. We wish to thank all of the applicants for their interest, and appreciate the passion and commitment that they all ably demonstrated. We expect to re-open a transparent and engaged process late this year or early next year and we look forward to the support of our stakeholders, partners, staff, and community when we once again seek a new Superintendent of the MESD.
