001for minute 20 seconds 20 seconds all [Music] right in summary let's not rush to judgment and let's not rush this decision we've asked for transparency and accountability time thank you thank you so I appreciate everybody's comments and taking the time in order to be transparent I do want to address some of the questions that you have as to why we're here uh so we work with uh cesa7 and we have been working with C7 um on all of our superintendent searches and cesa7 had beted uh Mr sorry through background checks investigations and understood the political issues that were arised and felt that there were no issues concerning for Mr concerning for hiring Mr sari at that time that is what we were advised uh the other thing I want to note is that we use
002the cisa evaluation process that is a questionnaire uh one of the other things I want to talk about is that during the interview process with Mr sari and cisa uh we felt it was only uh beneficial for the district as well as um Mr Mr sorry that we do uh evaluation February or March because he is in interim coming into a lot of things and so that was the purpose of having me evaluate take a look at work well Pro or things that uh we can make recommendations for uh in speaking with cisa uh the past week uh we've asked for recommendations based off of what we've had told U Mr sari and that is we will do an evaluation around February March and you know what would be the next steps and so uh
003the next steps and and they were discussed uh at the time of the interview process was either to post for a permanent superintendent position post for an interim superintendent or extend the contract uh for the current interim superintendent feedback that I got from cisa is that because we have a post superintendent investigation that has taken place we are dealing with a lot of um issues that are coming out of that from the past superintendent that still involve some legal issues we have a criminal investigation right now that is being handled by the police uh which involves the superintendent that we have right now to be able to work with legal counsel on we have a fractur board and we have a recall by another board member to the president and she felt that this is
004a bad time to post and recruit for any positions uh due to the uh issues that have been raised to the district and if you really wanted to find good candidates out there who would be willing to come and work for Rights Town at this time under these situations which is very unfortunate for me to say as well as as uh what's going on okay please just let me speak thank you uh and so I just want to clarify some of the questions that each of you had of what we know right now so the purpose of putting this on the agenda now is to allow for the full board to review whether or not they want to post for a permanent superintendent post for the interim superintendent extend the contract if taking a look
005at what the contract would be um taking a look at the situations that we have going on at the district uh and whether or not it's a feasible time so uh there is nothing set in stone but we are having a close session to discuss that uh we will also have legal council there as well uh for another uh issue so I do want to address what we know now and I do want to uh also thank you for taking the time to express the concerns and emails uh as well as uh with tonight um I've also received emails and the rest of the board that he has been doing a very good job considering what he was brought into um if you think about the the things that are going on and for a
006superintendent to come in and be faced with this it's a very difficult situ situation and I will talk on behalf of him for that uh in that you have to remain calm effective leadership you have to I mean it is a very difficult position to be in as an interim right now let alone bringing in a full-time um but we do have that option as well and so I just would like you to Grant him a little bit of Grace uh and understand that we've taken your concerns inette and we are bringing this to the board for a full Board review at this time based off what we described in the interview process with Mr sari and cisa's recommendation on that note I do want to say that we do go into a close session
007at this time yeah can you just touch b um with what I've been seeing and the feedback just to address it so that it's out in public notice um that you know there was a claim that three of them had not seen any reviews I did not see it I asked Tony said he didn't receive it so yeah nobody has seen the seen anything correct I only seen the revie seen yes I only have seen the reviews and and Mr sorry has seen the reviews and I will be sharing all the reviews with everyone in close session okay thank you haven't seen anything so I just wanted that for clarification okay that nobody's seen anything besides yourself y thank you thank you okay so if I could have the attention please of the audience I'd
