Board Cedes Control of Superintendent Search

📅 September 24, 2026

The board is considering making the current superintendent the “Search Agent” for their own replacement. This unusual move could allow the outgoing leader to control the hiring process, potentially limiting the candidate pool and favoring a successor who will not challenge the status quo.

Response

DEMAND AN INDEPENDENT SEARCH: Contact the Big Sandy ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask them: ‘Regarding Item 3)a, why is the Board delegating the superintendent search to the current superintendent instead of using an independent search firm or a board-led committee to ensure a fair and transparent process for taxpayers?’

💰 Impact: Potential for biased hiring
