Superintendent outlines three-stage selection process for Northside Early Childhood Center principal
Summary
The superintendent said the district will run a three-stage selection process for Northside Early Childhood Center principal: initial central-office interviews with Dr. Hicks, Ms. Tingle and Mr. Moore; individual meetings with the superintendent; and committee interviews, with the superintendent making the final appointment by statute.
The superintendent said the district will conduct at least three interviews to select a new principal for the Northside Early Childhood Center and that the superintendent will make the final appointment "by statute."
The superintendent said the first round of interviews will be held at the central office and will include Dr. Hicks, Ms. Tingle and Mr. Moore. The superintendent said he or she will meet individually with each candidate for a second round of interviews and that the selection committee will then interview candidates while district leaders serve in an advisory and observation role.
"Ultimately, I have to make the decision, by statute, the superintendent makes that decision," the superintendent said, describing the final appointment as the superintendent's statutory responsibility. The superintendent said the process is collaborative: central office staff will meet, provide input to the committee, and advise during committee interviews but will not replace the committee's role.
The superintendent described filling "Miss Swindler's shoes" as a "very tall order" and praised the legacy and strong foundation left at Northside, saying the next principal will have tools to continue the center's work.
No timeline or final appointment date was specified in the superintendent's remarks.
