The North Bend SD 13 Board of Education on Sept. 4 accepted a resignation agreement with Superintendent Swaggerty and delegated authority to the board chair to execute the agreement on the board’s behalf. The board also voted to appoint an acting superintendent, identified in the meeting record as "Creditor." The board approved both actions by voice vote; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the meeting transcript.

Board members said the resignation agreement had been signed by "Mr. Swaggerty" before the meeting, though the signed document was not available for the board to review on the dais. A board member moved to accept the agreement and to delegate execution to the board chair; another board member seconded the motion. The motion passed after a voice vote, with the board chair calling the question.

The board later took a separate motion to appoint an acting superintendent. The motion as read on the record was "appoint Creditor as active superintendent." Board members clarified the appointment was as "acting" (not interim) superintendent and again approved the motion by voice vote. The meeting record does not show a formal, itemized employment contract or salary terms discussed at the meeting.

Public commenters at the meeting asked whether the funds previously dedicated to the departing superintendent's position would be reallocated; board members said they expected such questions to be placed on future agendas so the public could track any proposed redistribution of resources. Board members said they would provide additional information about the administrative vacancy and the hiring timeline and that the district attorney and board would work on the posting and selection process.

The board’s actions: acceptance of the signed resignation agreement (delegation to board chair to execute) and appointment of an acting superintendent will be reflected in the district’s personnel records and posted meeting minutes, the board said.

The board did not provide contract details, salary redirection plans, or an immediate timeline for a permanent superintendent search during the Sept. 4 public meeting; members said those items would be addressed in upcoming meetings or posted public notices.
