A Camdenton Board of Education decision Nov. 20 during Executive Session opened the door for the board to hire former administrator Dr. Sean Kirksey as the school district s new superintendent.
Eric Walters, another school board member, feels the board rushed into this decision.
Walters voted to table the decision and said he felt that faculty and parents should have been surveyed before making any decisions on COVID-19 protocols within the school.
âAs a board of education member, it is my responsibility to represent all stakeholders. That includes our community, our students, our teachers and our staff,â he said. âMy motion was made to delay any decision until after we sought data on the opinions of all stakeholders, health department and school health experts.â
Walters said the board received a number of emails from teachers and faculty, as well as the Missouri State Teachers Association, asking for the board to survey the staff before making any decisions.
