In a recent government meeting, district officials emphasized the importance of community engagement in the ongoing search for a new superintendent. They are actively seeking input from teachers, staff, parents, and community members to shape the future direction of the district.
To facilitate this, the district has organized multiple focus groups and launched a four-question survey aimed at gathering priorities and expectations for the new superintendent. The survey is accessible via the district's website and social media platforms. Officials highlighted the flexibility of participation, noting that focus group meetings are scheduled at various times, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate different schedules.
Mary Jo, a key figure in the process, was commended for her efforts in coordinating these initiatives. Additionally, Rachel Riley from K12 Insights, the firm assisting with the search, received recognition for her dedication to the project.
For those who prefer in-person interaction, the district will host Zoom meetings at local elementary schools, allowing community members to participate in a group setting while still engaging with the online platform.
The meeting also included a segment for public comments, where residents were invited to share their perspectives on agenda items. The board reiterated its commitment to listening to community feedback, although they noted that responses to questions would be addressed after the meeting.
The session concluded with the approval of minutes from the previous board meeting, which passed unanimously. The board reminded attendees that recordings of committee meetings are available on the district's YouTube page for those interested in further details.
