Community Updates from the School Board
All community members are invited to observe the public interviews with the three superintendent finalist candidates and share their input with the school board on January 26th at 6:00 p.m.
We are pleased to announce that the school board has selected the following three candidates to move forward to the finalist round of interviews: Greg Schwab, Yvonne (Voni) Walker, and Shawn Woodward.
As part of our commitment to completing a thorough and transparent search process, and continuing to build partnerships with our community, I wanted to provide an update on our next steps in the process and invite you to participate.
As we kick off the new year, we wanted to share some important school board updates with our community, including our next steps in the superintendent search process.
Through small group listening sessions, one-on-one conversations, community forums, and an online ThoughtExchange survey, 610 community members shared their input for the superintendent search.
For those community members that are unable to attend a listening session to share their input for our search for a new superintendent, we are using ThoughtExchange to collect community input online. You are invited to share your thoughts now!
