Superintendent search: HYA summarizes survey and focus-group work; district to present leadership profile Jan. 29

Board members were updated on the superintendent search process and next steps during the Jan. 16 meeting. The search firm HYA completed individual interviews with board members, closed a community survey that yielded approximately 1,200 responses and conducted about 20 focus groups with community stakeholders.

Board members praised the focus-group facilitation and noted a cross-section of respondents including students, parents and community members. The next step on the schedule is a special board meeting on Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. to present the district leadership profile compiled by HYA and to continue the search timeline; the position is advertised and applications are being accepted.

Board members encouraged broad community participation in the upcoming presentation and thanked those who completed survey or focus-group input. The HYA report and focus-group summaries are available to board members through the member portal.
