# 2026-11-06 Superintendent Search Committee

Hartland Schools Superintendent Search Committee meeting, November 9, 2026: The committee approved the October 6 minutes and discussed compensation and recruitment for the permanent superintendent search. It agreed not to publish a salary range in the job posting; instead, HYA may share an agreed range with candidates as appropriate. The committee planned a follow-up discussion with the CFO and other staff to establish that range before the posting goes live. Members also discussed out-of-state advertising: HYA cited typical costs of about $500–$850 per state, while members considered a possible $1,500–$2,000 budget. No amount was authorized. The committee intends to develop an advertising plan with HYA and consider activating it two to three weeks after posting, depending on the number and quality of tier-one candidates.

The committee reviewed a tentative interim-superintendent process: applicant review on November 16, interviews on November 23, and a selection vote on November 30, contingent on the board’s decision to proceed; contract approval was anticipated for December 14. It also agreed to recommend moving the permanent-search first-round interviews to February 20 while retaining March 9 for district interviews and March 10 for final interviews. A follow-up meeting was contemplated for November 13 to address outstanding items. No contract award or final advertising expenditure was approved during this meeting.
