Summary

Survey respondents prioritized candidates with North Carolina public-education experience, building/operations experience, classroom-teaching backgrounds, successful principalship, and curriculum development experience.

The consultant told the board that respondents rated types of experience from 1 to 5 and that the top five types of experience were clear: "has worked in North Carolina public education, has experience with building, maintaining, and managing schools, has been an effective classroom teacher, has been a successful principal, and has experience in curriculum development and instruction."

Board members were told the ranking showed "an exceptionally high level of agreement" across community and staff respondents. The consultant said the draft leadership profile created from those rankings may be used or revised as the board proceeds to application review and interviews.
