Forum: Selecting a Katonah-Lewisboro Superintendent

via the Katonah-Lewisboro school board:

The members of the Katonah-Lewisboro Board of Education cordially invite all members of the school community to attend a meeting on November 16, 2010 in the John Jay High School Library at 7:00 p.m. to assist the Board in establishing direction for the selection process for the new Superintendent of Schools.

At this meeting, you will have an opportunity to meet one or more of the search consultants from School Leadership, LLC which has been engaged by the Board to assist it in the search. The consultants will describe the process and estimated timetable for conducting the search.

The remainder of the meeting will be devoted to hearing participant responses to three prompts: (1) From your perspective, what would attract a highly-qualified educator to seek the position of Superintendent in our school district? (2) What do you see as some of the major leadership challenges that the new Superintendent will face over the next three to five years? (3) What types of prior experiences and personal and professional qualities would you hope the new Superintendent will have?

Information from this meeting, and from other meetings with members of the Katonah- Lewisboro school community, will be synthesized into a set of search specifications that the Board anticipates approving at its meeting on November 18, 2010.
