Superintendent opens wide search for assistant superintendent; committee to set salary and provide input
Summary
The superintendent described an open search for an assistant superintendent for teaching and learning (preK-12). He said the role will work closely with his office and that the committee will need to set a salary; members asked for opportunity to set candidate criteria and for community input.
Superintendent Dr. Thomas Tremblay told the committee the district has launched an open search for an assistant superintendent for teaching and learning (preK-12). He said the position is not a superintendent-level hire but acknowledged the role's significance and the need to balance community input with finding a candidate who will work closely with the superintendent.
Members asked when the committee would set the salary for the position and whether the screening committee would receive guidance on candidate criteria (for example, preference for an external candidate or a doctorate). Dr. Tremblay said the posting is wide open and that the superintendent must have confidence in the person who will work directly with him. He also said the district could add more opportunities for community voice, and committee members suggested setting salary and screening criteria at an upcoming meeting.
Why it matters: The assistant superintendent role will shape curricular leadership across preK-12 grades; members emphasized the need for a candidate with deep preK-12 instructional experience, experience with multilingual learners and students with learning differences, and familiarity with equity-centered instruction.
Next steps: Committee members asked the superintendent to consider timing for setting the salary so it can be part of the recruitment process and to provide more detail on screening committee guidance at the next meeting.
