A decision is likely after the Thanksgiving weekend, he said.
Since 2014, when turmoil forced out Treasurer Steve Clark and Superintendent Jim Schoenlein, Kettering has contracted with the Shared Resource Center for treasurer services, Ambrose said.
Dan Schall, who was executive director of the SRC, filled Kettering’s treasurer role for seven years until the end of August, when he left the SRC to join Bradley Payne Advisors.
Samson, another SRC employee, is filling in as Kettering’s treasurer since Schall’s departure. But Kettering has decided to hire its own stand-alone treasurer moving forward, rather than contract with the SRC.
“It’s the preference of the board for us to have someone with us all of the time,” Ambrose said.
The Dayton Daily News has made a public records request to Kettering schools seeking information submitted by applicants for the treasurer job. This news outlet has also requested the current compensation for the position.
Only the names of those interviewed had been released as of Friday afternoon. A posting for the treasurer’s job states the salary is “negotiable” based on background and experience.
