Rob Saxton, a former Albany teacher and administrator and Oregon s first deputy superintendent of public instruction, will interview Monday with the Albany School Board to potentially become interim superintendent.
The meeting will be at 5 p.m. and will be available for public viewing on the district s YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/GreaterAlbanyPublicSchools. Public comment on the candidate will be taken in writing in advance of the meeting.
Board members voted 4-1 in a special meeting Friday, with Michael Thomson dissenting, to suspend Board Policy CBB, which outlines the usual procedure for a superintendent search. They voted unanimously to authorize the district s legal counsel, Paul Dakopolos, to negotiate a contract with a prospective interim superintendent candidate subject to board approval at the next board meeting.
At a raucous special meeting Wednesday, Albany School Board voted 3-1 to terminate Superintendent Melissa Goffâs contract as of July 24 under a no-cause dismissal clause. The district will buy out her remaining time.
Directors Pete Morse, Roger Nyquist and Brad Wilson voted to fire Goff. Director Michael Thomson voted no and Chairman Eric Aguinaga abstained.Â
The board prefaced its move on the superintendent by first clarifying that actions taken at Mondayâs board meeting were meant to end all COVID-19 restrictions, including social distancing, unless required by the state.
More than 100 people crowded into and spilled outside the board chambers for the 22-minute meeting, with roughly half the room cheering while the other half booed, depending on whether they backed the firing or wanted to retain Goff.
