Please note, the location of the meeting does not represent where the candidates will be placed.

Participants
Prior to the meeting, each participant will need to complete a confidentiality agreement. Feedback will be collected electronically in order to expedite processing.

Meeting Format
The Search Committee will be hosting and moderating each meeting. After a brief welcome from the host, the candidate will take 10 to 15 minutes to introduce themselves to you as a leader. The candidate will answer questions submitted through the survey to gain further information on their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Due to the anticipated number of questions being received, we will focus on the most common themes submitted for each stakeholder group.

Decision Making
In addition to the responses collected through the survey in January, the Search Committee will rely on the feedback the stakeholders provide during the stakeholder meetings and the full interview process. The Superintendent reserves the right to make the final decisions.

Timeline
Recommendations will be made to the school board for a May 3, 2022 vote.

Additional questions and concerns should be sent to Ashley Keele, Talent Acquisition Manager.
