1. The superintendent shall assign a school associate superintendent to oversee one

or more local school precincts. 2. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the position of school associate superintendent, the

superintendent shall post notice of the vacancy. The superintendent shall interview qualified candidates for the vacant position. At least one, but not more than two representatives of the principals of the local

school precincts overseen by the vacant position must be allowed to participate in

interviewing candidates for the vacant position. If the local governmental agency which has the most schools that are overseen by

the vacant position is: (a) A city, the governing body of the city may appoint one representative to participate

in interviewing candidates for the vacant position. (b) Not a city, the board of county commissioners for the county in which the large

school district is located may appoint one representative to participate in interviewing

candidates for the vacant position. 3. Each person who participates in interviewing candidates pursuant to subsection

2 shall comply with all laws that apply to an employer when making a decision about

employment. 4. Upon completion of the interviews pursuant to subsection 2 and before the superintendent

makes a final determination about which candidate to hire, the superintendent must

notify the governing body of the city or the board of county commissioners for the

county, as applicable, regarding the candidate whom the superintendent intends to

hire. After receiving such notice, the governing body of the city or the board of county

commissioners, as applicable, may hold a public meeting within 10 days to question

the superintendent and the candidate for the vacant position and receive public input. After any such meeting or, if no such meeting is held, after 10 days, the superintendent

shall, in his or her sole discretion, hire a candidate for the vacant position. 5. After the school associate superintendent is hired, the superintendent may, in

his or her sole discretion, reassign and make other employment decisions concerning

the school associate superintendent.
