During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the legitimacy of the current superintendent, David Woods, and his proposed role on the Ccres board. Multiple speakers, including community member Ronnie Lutz, voiced objections, asserting that Woods is not the legal superintendent due to a lack of formal acceptance of his position following a resignation.

Lutz emphasized that voting to allow Woods a seat on the board could expose both the board and the district to legal vulnerabilities. He pointed out that Woods' contract, which is set to expire in 2025, would not be valid if he were appointed to the board until June 2027. This backdating raises questions about the legality of his participation in board activities and decisions.

The discussion also highlighted the implications of voting on the superintendent's goals and personnel matters under the current circumstances. Lutz warned that such actions would imply an acknowledgment of Woods as the legitimate superintendent, potentially leading to legal challenges regarding his position.

The meeting underscored the urgency for clarity and resolution regarding the superintendent's status, as community members expressed their concerns about the potential ramifications of the board's decisions.
