LAKE LINDEN – At its regular monthly meeting Monday, the Lake Linden-Hubbell School Board unanimously voted to approve the immediate posting of the superintendent position.

Tim Hall, consultant with the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB), via virtual meeting, repeated basically what he had told the Board at a previous meeting.

At the Oct. 28 special meeting of the School Board, Hall suggested the Board re-post the position at the beginning of 2026, with the idea that the new superintendent would assume the position on July 1, 2026. “In January or February we would want to get things rolling,” he said, “and probably run the vacancy for 12 weeks or so, then plan on interviewing around May.”

Hall told the Board the MASB can repost the position at any time the Board wants to, going on to suggest closing the application date on April 7, 2026. The first round of interviews would be scheduled for April 27, with a second round scheduled for May 4th if needed, with the expectation that that person could start in that role on July 1st.

“This is is the typical timeline that we see a lot of schools use,” Hall said. “The superintendent’s position generally looks to start at the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1st.”

Hall said this is the time of year anyone looking for a superintendency typically starts looking for postings.

The MASB’s Executive Search Services has been assisting the school district with their ongoing search to fill the vacancy since May, when the School Board accepted the resignation of then-superintendent, Brad Codere, who stayed on until the end of the 2025 school year.

The Board also discussed three possible candidates for the position of interim superintendent.

Trustees compiled a short list of questions to email each of them, including times and days of availability, earliest possible starting date, without having to schedule in-person interviews. Other questions were raised in regards to the process. To address these, a special meeting of the Superintendent Search Committee was scheduled Tuesday morning for the same day at 4 p.m.

A special meeting of the Board is scheduled for Nov. 17, at 5:30 p.m. to consider the three candidates.
