29 Stakeholder Representatives Invited to Provide Input to the School Board

In addition to the community engagement and online feedback opportunities that our entire community can participate in, the school board will invite stakeholder representatives from 29 groups to attend the finalist interviews on March 13, observe, and provide their input to the school board.

Stakeholder representatives will provide input using the same rubric that school board members will use to assess candidates. The Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA), the hiring firm supporting the search, will communicate directly with the stakeholder representatives about serving in this role. Stakeholder representatives will be asked to be present in person for each interview and not discuss their input with other stakeholder representatives. 

The finalist interviews are open to the public, live streamed, and recorded. All community members can provide online feedback on candidates.

Stakeholder Groups (29) 

Stakeholder groups will be asked to identify a single representative to attend the finalist interviews with the School Board on March 13 and provide stakeholder input to the school board. If the group submits multiple individuals, one will be selected by MSBA through a random draw.
