The Garden City Board of Education voted to offer the district’s superintendent position to Joshua Geiman, subject to successful negotiation of an employment contract and final board approval at the next regular meeting.

The motion to extend the offer instructed the board president to negotiate an employment agreement “under terms consistent with those discussed in the executive session,” with the contract to return to the board for approval. A motion to offer the post was moved and seconded and carried by a hand‑raise vote; the transcript records that those present voted in favor.

The board had convened an executive session earlier in the meeting to discuss contract liability under an attorney‑client privilege exception; the motion to invite internal staff and advisors into that session listed Josh Keiman, Drew Tahn, Steve Norby, Jessica Nothern and Jennifer Cunningham as invited participants. The board announced it would resume open meeting proceedings following the closed session and then made the hiring motion.

The motion and vote recorded on the transcript do not include a roll‑call tally or named individual votes. The board’s motion directs the president to complete negotiations and present the proposed contract for approval at the next regular board meeting.
