December 20 Update
Posted by Superintendent Search Team on 12/20/2019
In December 2019, the Brookline School Committee launched a national search for the next superintendent of Schools with the support of the Superintendent Search Public Advisory Committee and NESDEC (New England School Development Council), the search firm selected by the School Committee to assist in the search process. Recruitment of candidates is actively underway with the goal of selecting a new Superintendent by the end of March to assume leadership of the school district in July 2020.
The School Committee is committed to the full involvement of the education and general community in the search process. Your voice is important and valued and there will be several ways to be involved throughout the process.
Superintendent Leadership Profile Community Focus Groups
All community members are invited and encouraged to participate in one of the Superintendent Leadership Profile Focus Groups that will be conducted during the weeks of January 6th and January 13th. These focus groups are open to all members of the community and will be led by NESDEC staff.
(Everyone is welcome to attend; please note that separate focus groups have been scheduled for educators, staff, BHS students, and Parent Leaders.)
The purpose of these focus groups is to get input on the type of person and leader we want as our next superintendent. Members of the community will also be able to provide input through an online survey that will be launched in early January. The input gathered at these sessions and through the survey will help create a Leadership Profile to be utilized by the Superintendent Search Public Advisory Committee in reviewing and selecting candidates to interview.
