Board updated on superintendent search; 38 applications reported
Summary
Board members were told the application window for superintendent closed with 38 applicants. A search firm is vetting applications; the board and screening committee will review candidates via a secure portal and aim to agree on a top-five list on April 24.
The Jefferson County Board of Education received an update April 8 on the ongoing superintendent search: the application window closed March 28 and the district has received 38 applications.
District staff said the search firm is vetting applicants against the board-approved leadership profile and conducting reference checks. Board members and the screening committee will receive access to the search firm's secure portal in mid-April to review applications. Staff set a joint meeting of the board and the screening committee at 5 p.m. on April 24 for a presentation by the search firm; the stated goal of that meeting is to reach consensus on the top five candidates to advance in the process.
The superintendent search advisory committee met April 7 to review community survey results and to plan community interviews once finalists are selected. A separate "reading committee" (screening committee) was scheduled to meet again in mid-April to discuss interview responsibilities and practices.
Ending: The board did not take action on any appointment at the meeting; staff said review and vetting are ongoing and the April 24 meeting will present the next formal step in selecting finalists.
