Special education director position is open and is hired by the School Committee.
There is conversation around whether this search should be delegated to the superintendent or should be done by School Committee.
Monfredo is suggesting that the superintendent do the search but bring in three candidates, asks that the person live in the city
He has the support of O'Connell and (to an extent) Foley
Novick is reluctant to give School Committee authority away, asks for a national search
Biancheria asks for a minimum of three come in
Mullaney would like the superintendent to run it, says she trusts Boone
Foley speaks of doing it before the summer is too far gone, not spending too much money
Mullaney says she doesn't want the superintendent flying people in just to have us have three
O'Brien suggests that the superintendent keep people updated if she can only find two.
Biancheria says it should be taken seriously, shouldn't be rushed, "have capable staff who can pitch in, while we look for the best candidate for the position"
"insult to our parents" to be in a rush
O'Brien summarizes the conversation thus far
