Board: national search firm HYA engaged to lead superintendent search; community input phase underway
Summary
Board announced HYA (BYD with HYA) was hired to lead a superintendent search expected to take about three months; the engagement phase includes community surveys and focus groups and a leadership profile will be developed from that input.
The board and interim superintendent updated the public Jan. 14 on the superintendent search process and timeline.
Interim leadership said the board has engaged BYD with HYA, a national search and education consulting firm, to lead the superintendent search. The process was described as four phases: engagement, selection, recruitment and transition. Staff said the engagement phase is underway and will include board and community interviews, surveys and focus groups to build a leadership profile and selection criteria.
Staff said the district would post survey links on the Montgomery County Public Schools website and publish dates for in-person and virtual focus groups after they are finalized. The presenters estimated the full search process would take approximately three months.
Why it matters: The board's selection will determine the district's next chief executive and shape district strategy and operations for years.
What's next: Community members are invited to participate in surveys and focus groups; staff will collect input and provide the engagement report that will inform candidate recruitment and selection.
