2026-09-14 Board Committee Meeting

The Hartland Schools Board Committee held a meeting on September 14, 2026, primarily focused on the procurement process for selecting a superintendent search firm. The committee reviewed and finalized interview questions to be sent to three firms that submitted proposals in response to their RFP. They discussed the merits and concerns of each vendor, including HYA, Michigan Leadership Institute (MLI), and MASB, with particular attention to the comprehensiveness of proposals, references, and potential biases due to prior relationships. The committee agreed to send the finalized questions to all three firms to gather detailed responses before scheduling presentations and interviews. They planned to conduct interviews during the week of September 28 or the following week, aiming to make a recommendation to the full board by the October 19 meeting. The discussion also covered logistical considerations for presentations and emphasized the importance of an objective and thorough evaluation process.
