Conroe ISD board approves superintendent search plan, to post vacancy June 18
Summary
The Conroe ISD Board accepted a modified traditional search timeline, candidate profile and community engagement plan for the next superintendent search and voted unanimously to proceed; the search is scheduled to post June 18 with surveys and community forums planned through August.
The Conroe Independent School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a superintendent search plan that the board’s consultant said would post the vacancy “tomorrow, June 18.”
The plan, presented by consultant Mister Petrie, uses a modified traditional timeline: a roughly 30‑day posting, community engagement by survey and forums across June–August, three rounds of interviews in August and a public lone‑finalist waiting period of 21 days before a hiring vote in September. "This position would post tomorrow, June 18," Petrie told the board.
The board approved a candidate profile built from seven trustee interviews and cabinet input that lists professional qualifications, academic priorities, governance experience and personal traits such as “calm under pressure” and “transparent and trustworthy.” Petrie said the search team will offer four community forums (three evening forums aligned to feeder patterns and one daytime, districtwide forum) and translated surveys in English and Spanish. "We will provide translation services and the surveys will be in both English and Spanish," he said.
Trustees asked how the forum schedule and locations would be publicized; Petrie said the district communications team would use district texting, email, parental notification systems and local media to distribute notices and encouraged broad participation. Trustee Dawson urged the firm to pick feeder patterns and facilities that maximize attendance, and Petrie said he would coordinate with Interim Superintendent Doctor Landry and district staff to select locations and dates.
The board voted 6–0 to accept the timeline, candidate profile and community engagement approach and authorized the search team to post the position and begin outreach.
Next steps outlined by the consultant include launching the digital survey in June, accepting applications through July 18, conducting interviews in August and naming a lone finalist in August with a subsequent 21‑day waiting period prior to a vote on hiring in September.
