LAKEPORT, Calif. – A special Lakeport Unified School District Board meeting that had been called to discuss the transition regarding the district superintendent’s position has been rescheduled, the district reported.

Originally set for Saturday afternoon, the special board meeting has now been moved to 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14, according to Tami Carley, the district superintendent’s secretary.

The Monday meeting is meant to discuss the transitional team the board wants to establish in the process to choose a new superintendent.

Carley said the special board meeting had to be rescheduled “due to a lack of available board members for a quorum.”

She said the agenda will be posted on the district’s Web site 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

Board member Jennifer Hanson separately reported on social media that a regular board meeting will take place at 5 p.m. Monday.

At that point it’s expected that the meeting location will be confirmed. Normally, the meetings are held at the district office 2508 Howard Ave., but this week’s meeting had a large audience that spilled out the front lobby.

At that meeting on Wednesday the board majority voted to terminate the contract with Superintendent April Leiferman.

That was followed on Thursday by the resignation of Board member Lori Holmes.

Hanson stated on Facebook that Holmes’ resignation led to the need to reschedule the meeting from Saturday to Monday.
