SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT WANTS YOU TO FILL OUT SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SURVEY

From Board of Education President Beth Daugherty today:



To the SOMSD Community: 

The Board of Education is committed to including feedback from all stakeholders as we search for a new superintendent. We have hired the firm Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates to help the Board with the process, and charged them with seeking input from staff, parents, students, and the general community on the highest priority qualifications of a Superintendent for our district. 

As one of the initial steps in the process, the Board is seeking your input on the desired characteristics and skills that you would like to see in the next superintendent. Please share your thoughts by responding to this survey

As you respond, please remember that all characteristics listed are desirable, but we are interested in knowing your perceptions about which characteristics are "most important" for the South Orange Maplewood School District. 

In addition, focus groups are being scheduled for this summer and the fall with teachers, administrators, students, community groups, and other stakeholders. Saturday, September 13, 2014, will be a day full of focus groups and open forums for anyone who would like to provide feedback in person, and evening sessions will also be held in September in order to reach as many stakeholder groups as possible. 

On behalf of the Board of Education, thank you for taking the time to respond. The Board members, along with Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, appreciate your willingness to participate and look forward to learning your perspective. 

Sincerely,

Elizabeth T. Daugherty President Board of Education of South Orange Maplewood School District
