Aledo ISD Administration Board Room, 1008 Bailey Ranch Road

With 40 applicants for superintendent, the board sets interviews for March 27 and 28

Search consultant Dr. Jenny Preston reported the profile built from community forums: leadership, ethics, student relations, human relations and communications. The vote was 7-0.

The Aledo ISD Board of Trustees met in special session March 21, 2018, at 6:02 p.m. with all seven trustees present once Hoyt Harris arrived at 6:06. Dr. Jenny Preston of Jenny Preston Education Services said the search had drawn a lot of interest, that open forums had produced a profile emphasizing leadership, ethical and moral character, student relations, human relations and communications, and that there had been 40 applicants. After an executive session from 6:08 to 9:14 p.m., the board voted 7-0 on President Jay Stringer's motion to conduct a round of interviews on March 27 and 28, and adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
