Select Board Chair Joe Michaud is quoted on Curt Brown's blog (see here) as seeking to hire an interim Executive Administrator at the end of next moth when the contract of the current Executive Administrator ends. The search for a new administrator is underway ...
...but is unlikely to be completed by March 1. Mr. Michaud and the Select Board have not discussed the hiring of an interim. I think the decision will come down to the time needed to find a replacement. If it is a few weeks. I wouldn't go with an interim. If the time frame is more than that I would support Mr. Michaud's proposal for an interim administrator.

Where in the process is the search committee? Job Description done? Ads placed? I think it's going to be more than a few weeks to get a new EA on board. By the time ads are run, resumes reviewed, interviewees brought in for at least 1 sometimes 2 rounds of interviews, then contract negotiations etc... I think it will be inevitable that an interim EA will be required.
Given the precarious nature of our and the state's finances it would be crazy to go for any length of time without someone at the helm and foolhardy to rush into hiring a new EA without due diligence. We don't want to do this again any time soon.
I think an interim EA is a good thing. Don't rush the process! It makes sense.
