Community Input Results for New Superintendent
The HYA Executive Search consultant has reported on the Leadership Profile for the new Superintendent developed from the online survey, individual interviews and focus groups. The many ideas were summarized in the report as follows:
– Foster a positive professional climate of mutual trust and respect among faculty, staff and administrators.– Recruit, employ, evaluate, and retain effective personnel throughout the District and its schools.– Have a clear vision of what is required to provide exemplary educational services and implementeffective change.– Effectively plan and manage the long‐term financial health of the District.– Listen to and effectively represent the interests and concerns of students, staff, parents, and community members.
The District is looking for a strong, confident, articulate leader who exhibits the desire and ability to work collaboratively with all constituents in a highly performing district in a small community with involved, demanding and supportive parents. This person will work with the Board, staff and community to ensure a vision of rigorous educational excellence with an embedded balance of well‐being for all students. To do this the new superintendent must have a strong foundation in current best practices in curriculum and instruction including STEM and the integration of technology.
All members of the community are seeking a leader who builds a climate of mutual respect and trust and is open to ideas from staff, parents and community members to better the educational program for students. This individual should have experience as a teacher and administrator, worked successfully with school boards and with certificated and classified unions. The community’s interest is in a new superintendent who is comfortable with collaborative decision making processes, bringing disparate ideas together with a definitive well‐communicated plan, yet willing when necessary to make difficult decisions in the best interest of children without full consensus.
