• Conversations between board members during any potential break periods will not involve any component or discussion of the process
• The board may, at this meeting, make a motion to direct the superintendent and board chair to enter into employment contract negotiations with the candidate of choice
• Employment contract negotiations do not subscribe to an established timeline
• A mutually agreed upon/finalized contract will be submitted on an agenda of a regular school board meeting to be voted on/approved by the board
