Chris. >> Yes. >> Karen. >> Yes. >> Stephanie. >> Yes. >> This is This is Justin. I vote yes. All right. So, we have one uh agenda item for tonight, which is to uh consider approval of the RFP um that I drafted for selection of a uh well, selection firm for the replacement of Mr. Feld Camp with a new superintendent. Um I circulated it previously and then circulated it with a couple of errors midday or errors edits midday today. Hopefully not errors. Um couple of edits midday today. Um would open the floor for discussion if there is any. >> Okay. So >> totally good. >> Okay. Thanks.
003>> Um I did put a timeline in there. um relatively short turnaround time, but you know, in talking with a couple of these firms, you know, they felt like it would be a pretty quick turn and and frankly, I didn't ask for anything that was, you know, kind of off the wall and certainly they can submit it in their own format. So, not not to fasttrack anything, but is there any further discussion? Okay. I would I would move that we approve action item 2.1, approval of RFP for superintendent search services as as presented today. Is there a second? >> I second it. >> A second. >> All right. >> Second. >> What? All right. >> All right. Too many seconds. Um I'm not >> I'll second too. >> All right. Moved by Moved by Justin,
004seconded by Ryan. Um, everybody's a little punchy this this evening. Uh, we'll do a we'll do a voice vote just for the record. Linda, >> yes. >> Evan, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes. >> Karen, >> yes. >> Ryan, >> yes. >> Stephanie, >> yes. This is Justin. I vote yes. All right. Uh motion motion approved. 70. Um I have um I have six um selection firms that I intend to send it out to. Um two of them are local to Kansas area, KSB and Greenbush. Um two of them are more regional firms and two of them are more national firms. I suspect the cost will go up with each of those, but I I I thought it was worthy worthy to see what their proposal would look like. So, plan to send it out
005to six firms and I will probably hit send on that here shortly after we hang up the phone tonight. I gave them till mid next week to respond. So, all right. Is there any other discussion for the board? >> I have a question. Justin, you had two timelines. Are we trying to track with timeline A? >> So I I put together a couple of timelines based on the the different feedback that I have >> and in the in the RFP we asked them to propose a timeline. >> Okay. >> At the end of the day, I think that um I think there's a couple of options. I think theoretically we could get this done before the first of the year. um probably a more probable answer is January, but um I want to see what
006the selection firms come back with. And then secondarily, I would like to I would like for it to be an organic, you know, I I don't if we waste time, we'll find ourselves behind the eightball. So, I don't want to waste time, but I also don't want to artificially rush it. So, I I'm anxious to see what their timelines come back at. And again, I I put some of those together and got some sample timelines only to kind of familiarize the board with what the timeline might look like. >> But um I asked each of the selection firms to kind of give their timeline too. So um I would say the timeline is is only notional at this point, Karen. >> Okay. >> Any other feedback or discussion? >> All right. Thank you guys for
007taking a few minutes on your on your Monday evening and um we can adjourn. I appreciate everyone's attendance. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for all your work on that, Justin. Yeah. Oh, >> it's my pleasure. It's important thing. Talk soon, guys. >> All right. Bye.
