Board to launch superintendent search survey, plans job posting for Nov. 3
Summary
The Woodland Park School District board agreed to release a public survey to guide the search for a permanent superintendent and expects to post the position Nov. 3, following a two-week comment period and internal review of results.
The Woodland Park School District Board of Education agreed to move forward with a public survey this month to gather community input for a superintendent search and expects to post the job Nov. 3.
Board member Keegan Barclay said the board completed work on survey questions at a recent work session and intends to distribute the survey broadly — by email and on district social media — for about two weeks to collect community feedback. "Generally speaking, these surveys are open for 10 to 14 days, so I figured about 2 weeks to collect feedback," Barclay said.
Barclay told the board the search consultant, identified in the meeting as Chris, had been coordinating timing with the district and that the district planned to review survey results for about a week before sending top priorities to the search firm so it could finalize a job description.
Superintendent Ginger Slocum and board members discussed a timeline that would allow the opening to be posted on Monday, Nov. 3, assuming the survey and a short internal review proceed as planned. The board also discussed scheduling a short work session the week of Oct. 27 to review survey results and finalize next steps.
Why it matters: The survey will shape the job description and recruitment priorities for the district's next superintendent. Board members said they want a community-driven process and plan to combine results with staff and principal input before the posting.
Next steps: The board asked staff to distribute the survey on Friday and to work with the search consultant to finalize the posting after the board reviews the compiled responses.
