Lake Ridge New Tech Schools board hires ISBA to lead superintendent search
Summary
The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools board voted Aug. 11 to hire ISBA to conduct a multi-step superintendent search, including community and staff surveys, application screening on a platform called Resilience, interviews, background checks and a final public hearing.
The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools board voted Aug. 11 to hire ISBA to conduct the district's superintendent search, following a discussion of three finalist firms.
Board member Mr. Bacon made the motion to hire ISBA and the motion carried by voice vote as announced by the chair with four yays and zero nays. The board's action separates the superintendent search into a multi-month process that will include community and staff input and multiple interview rounds.
Superintendent Dr. Kremens and several board members described the search as a major undertaking that will require application review, background checks and public hearings after finalists are identified. Board members said the selected firm will help create the application and candidate profile and administer surveys so staff and community can provide input.
Board discussion noted that ISBA's proposal includes an online community and staff survey, assistance developing the candidate profile, online review of applications via a platform the board referred to as "Resilience," on-site interviews and additional support through the selection process. The board emphasized taking time to complete legal and vetting steps correctly before finalist selection.
The board did not set a specific selection timeline at the meeting beyond noting the search typically involves several months of screening and interviews and culminates in a public hearing for finalists.
