IMBLER — Drawn by family ties, Imbler School District Superintendent Angie Lakey-Campbell is set to take a position as the leader of the Hansen School District near Twin Falls, Idaho.
IMBLER â A member of the Imbler School Board charged on Tuesday, June 1, the board had not been transparent while conducting its search for a successor to Superintendent Angie Lakey-Campbell, who is leaving to take a position leading the Hansen School School District near Twin Falls, Idaho.
Board member Dan McDonald made this charge prior to the board voting 4-1 to name Doug Hislop interim superintendent. Hislop, who served as Imblerâs superintendent from 2004 to 2014 before retiring, will serve as interim superintendent in 2021-22 beginning July 1.
McDonald voted against naming Hislop as superintendent because he said the selection process was not open enough. In a letter he read at the June 1 school board meeting before its vote, McDonald said he has great respect for all members of the school board but in his opinion the hiring process lacked transparency.
