Allen ISD's search for a permanent superintendent may be moving to interviews.
The agenda for the school board's Monday, Nov. 2, workshop, posted on the district's BoardBook page, lists a closed-session item to "discuss/consider all matters concerning Superintendent Search and possible Interviewing of Superintendent Candidates." When trustees return to open session, they can take possible action on the search and on any interviews.
That wording is new. The agenda for the board's Oct. 26 regular meeting listed the search for closed-session discussion and possible action, with no mention of interviews. The Nov. 2 agenda does not say how many candidates are under consideration or name any.
Kim McLaughlin is listed as acting superintendent in the district's Oct. 26 meeting packet.
Calendar and innovation plan
The open part of the workshop covers several other items:
- 2027-28 academic calendar. It is listed under long-range considerations.
- District of Innovation plan. Trustees will look at amendments to the plan and its renewal.
- Teacher Incentive Allotment. Staff will give the board an update on the program.
- Interim assessments. Results of the 2026-27 interim assessments are on the agenda.
- Budget policy. The board will consider its local policy on the annual operating budget, CE(LOCAL).
The only open-session action item on the posted agenda is a resolution declaring some district property surplus and authorizing its sale.
