Special Board of Education Meeting

January 26, 2023

Superintendent’s Notes

The Postville School Board will hold a special board meeting on Thursday, January 26, 2023 at 5:30 P.M. in the Fine Arts Lobby.  The agenda has staffing adjustments along with the next steps for filling the superintendent’s position.  The staffing adjustments include the resignation of Tim Dugger/Superintendent along with hiring Kyle Brock as the assistant high school football coach and Ryan Holthaus as the agriculture education teacher and FFA Advisor.  The board will discuss a vision on how they want to fill the vacant superintendent position.  The choices include, sharing a superintendent with another school district or hiring a replacement.  The board will need to have a clear and equitable process if you decide to hire a replacement.  The hiring timelines are in your favor because it is still January.  In order for this to happen, I would recommend hiring an external partner to conduct the search.  Grundmeyer Leader Services is a hiring firm that is used throughout the state and has provided a proposal for you to review.  If approved, this contract will put into motion the hiring process.
