Superintendent Search
I thought I would follow Carole Smith’s example of moving forward on high school redesign implementation prior to a board vote.
Carole’s contract is up for renewal this October. Assuming that the board votes for non-renewal…
What are the top THREE characteristics you would like to see in our next superintendent?

- I would like someone who is an educator, and had actual public school teaching experience.
- I would like someone who acts on promises. Carole listens, takes notes, but nothing happens.
- I would like someone who works with the various unions and doesn’t ignore contracts. For example, this demand that high school teachers teach 6 of 7 classes is a contract issue (and a work load issue, and scheduling issue, etc., etc.)
1. Someone with prior successful urban superintendency experience.
2. Someone with convictions and courage to follow through as well as making difficult decisions.
3. Someone who understands issues of white privilege pertaining to education and is willing to do what it takes to close the achievement gaps.
