Chino Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees plan to host a special board meeting at 6 p.m. June 2 and guess what's on the agenda - "Superintendent Search Options - Recommend the Board of Education consider the Superintendent search options."
The board will meet at 5130 Riverside Drive, Chino.
If you didn't see the print story here it is:
Chino Valley Unified Superintendent Edmond Heatley on Tuesday night was hired as the top administrator for the Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia.
The school board voted 7 to 2 in favor of the contract, according to media reports.
Heatley has been on a job hunt in recent months out of California.
Last week, he learned the Clayton County school board had approved him as its new superintendent. The school board on May 18 voted 5-4 in favor of Heatley.
Heatley's first day at the Clayton County school district - which is located in Jonesboro and about 20 miles south of Atlanta - is reportedly July 1.
He will reportedly earn a $250,000 annual salary for a three-year contract.
"To be honest, on the way home, I'm gonna call and talk to some people back in Georgia and spend time with my family and make a decision," Heatley said last week.
"Once that decision is made, I'm going to talk to my board president and staff and it's off from there."
Chino Valley Unified officials said on Tuesday that Heatley had not yet notified them of a decision.
Heatley told a reporter on Tuesday that he would accept the Clayton County job if contract negotiations go well and that he didn't anticipate any problems.
He also told a reporter that his family on Memorial Day weekend would be in Georgia looking at schools and homes.
Clayton County board members who voted against Heatley's bid last week cited concerns that the community needed more time to ask questions and provide feedback regarding Heatley's status as a finalist.
Other board members reportedly wanted to hire Valya Lee, Clayton County's interim superintendent.
Heatley's four-year contract with Chino Valley Unified expires June 30, 2012. He was hired on Oct. 20, 2005 and his annual salary is $258,043.

It is sad to found out this superintendent was not well selected. He closed three schools, moved staff around and order new furniture for all that were moved,changed the color of all buildings at the district offices, removed beautiful plants from the office gardens, etc Probably lots of money was in the district budge.
tks for the effort you put in here I appreciate it!
