The San Jon Municipal Board of Education convened for about an hour last week in closed executive session to discuss candidates to replace departing superintendent Janet Gladu.
The board did not take action when open session resumed. Gladu said she didn’t know who those candidates are.
The board later scheduled a special meeting for this Wednesday. Discussion or approving an interim superintendent or administrator in charge of the school district is among the agenda items.
The board’s regularly scheduled meeting last week was the final one for Gladu, who submitted her resignation last month to take an undisclosed education position in northern Illinois.
Her last day at the San Jon district is Thursday. She had been San Jon’s superintendent for four years.
Her husband Tim, a Tucumcari police officer, also is taking a law enforcement position in Illinois, Gladu told the Quay County Sun in an email.
The board met in open session for only about 10 minutes, approving an annual transportation contract with BRATS of San Jon for $103,095 a year. Board member Dale Bone, a part owner of the company, abstained from voting.
