Late in the evening, the Capital School District Board of Education went into executive session to discuss the last item on their agenda, the selection of a new superintendent to replace Dr. Michael Thomas who will resign effect June 30th. The board was in this executive session for 45 minutes.
When they came out, board member John Martin stated he was unequivocally against the choice selected. He felt Capital had a bold opportunity here and suggested they go back to the drawing board and repost the position. The motion was introduced and brought to a vote. Martin voted no, “emphatically”, and members Kay Dietz-Sass, Matt Lindell and Sean Christiansen all voted yes. The new Superintendent of Capital School District is… Candidate #216. The official name will be revealed tomorrow afternoon according to Lindell. They have to notify the other candidates first…
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would “emphatically” vote against Dr Dan Shelton. He is an amazing administrator and will be an excellent superintendent. Capitol’s gain is Christina’s tremendous loss. I wish him all the best in his new position.
