Board Launches Superintendent Search Process

At a special board meeting on February 23, 2026, the Board directed staff to solicit proposals from superintendent search firms (between five to seven firms) with specific requirements.

Staff was directed to ensure the proposals include:

• The Board's desire to have an opportunity for community input in the superintendent search process
• All five board members to be involved in the selection process
• A diverse selection of superintendent search firms, including at least one nationwide search firm

The Board specifically chose to solicit proposals rather than go through a full RFP process to expedite the timeline, with staff noting that the solicitation approach would be faster than the formal RFP process which could take longer due to formal RFP posting requirements.
