Recruitment of Superintendent
The
appointment of a superintendent is a function of the Board. The Board shall take steps to find the person it believes can
most effectively translate into action the policies of the Board and the
aspirations of the community and the professional staff.
The Board
may seek the advice and counsel of interested individuals or of an advisory
committee, or it may employ a consultant to assist in the selection. It may also, at its discretion, determine
that an external search is not necessary due to a qualified internal candidate.
Final selection shall rest with the Board after a thorough consideration of
qualified applicants.
A vote of
the majority of Board members present at a Board meeting for which due notice
has been given of the intended action shall be required for the appointment of
the superintendent.
Search process
When the
Board conducts a search for the position, the writing or revising of the job
description, requirements for applicants, selection procedures and applicable
deadlines shall be adopted at a public meeting.
The Board may involve individuals who are deaf and/or blind in the
interview process to assist in the assessment of superintendent candidates.
Records
submitted to the school by an applicant for a superintendent position shall remain
confidential until the applicant becomes a finalist for the position. If only
three or fewer candidates possess the minimum qualifications for the position,
said candidates are all considered finalists.
A list of
all finalists being considered for the position shall be made public by the
Board at least 14 days prior to
appointing one of the finalists to fill the position. No offer of appointment shall be made prior
to this public notice.
When an
applicant becomes a finalist, all records submitted by the applicant shall be
available for public inspection except that letters of reference or medical,
psychological and sociological data shall remain confidential.
