In addition to the planned interviews, there was a brief discussion indicating that although the list of candidates is nearly final, one more applicant is yet to be reviewed. The board aims to maintain transparency and diligence in their selection process, which is important for selecting a suitable leader for the department.

The board also touched upon scheduling logistics, confirming that a meeting is planned for next Monday at 5 p.m. This meeting appears to be a continuation of their efforts to finalize the selection process and may include discussions or modifications to interview questions.

Furthermore, the board moved into an executive session to discuss the preliminary screening of applicants, which is a standard procedure to ensure confidentiality and integrity in the hiring process. The executive session was deemed necessary as an open meeting could potentially affect the quality of applicants willing to apply.
