Rob Saxton, a former Albany teacher and administrator and Oregon s first deputy superintendent of public instruction, will interview Monday with the Albany School Board to potentially become interim superintendent.
The meeting will be at 5 p.m. and will be available for public viewing on the district s YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/GreaterAlbanyPublicSchools. Public comment on the candidate will be taken in writing in advance of the meeting.
Board members voted 4-1 in a special meeting Friday, with Michael Thomson dissenting, to suspend Board Policy CBB, which outlines the usual procedure for a superintendent search. They voted unanimously to authorize the district s legal counsel, Paul Dakopolos, to negotiate a contract with a prospective interim superintendent candidate subject to board approval at the next board meeting.

A showdown with the state is brewing among at least two Oregon counties that already have or are taking steps to prevent 15-, 16- and 17-year-old residents from getting vaccinated against COVID-19 without parents’ or guardians’ permission.
A state law grants these teenagers the power to make their own medical decisions. The Oregon Health Authority says that includes whether they get vaccinated. The law requires parental consent for anyone 14 or younger.
But last week the Linn County Board of Commissioners directed its local health department to deny shots to any 15- to 17-year-old residents who want them unless they have parental approval. A state lawmaker, Rep. Marty Wilde, a Eugene Democrat whose district also covers part of Linn County, says that’s a violation of state law and he’s sent a complaint to the Oregon Department of Justice asking it to investigate.
