- The search for a new Tonganoxie USD 464 superintendent continues while a board member resigns from his post.
During a special meeting Monday, the board interviewed interim superintendent Tonya Phillips for the position.
But after executive session, a series of motions eventually led to a divided board approving a candidate search.
The board interviewed Phillips for 75 minutes during the closed-door meeting. Board Member Amelia Brusven participated in the executive session via teleconference.
The board then met for another 25 minutes in executive session without Phillips.
