MONDAY: FINAL BOSTON SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH COMMUNITY FORUM

Provide progress updates, next steps

BOSTON – The Boston Superintendent Search Committee will hold its eighth and final community forum on Monday, January 12, at the Lilla Frederick School in Dorchester.

Since February 2014, the Superintendent Search Committee, in collaboration with the Boston School Committee (BSC), Mayor’s Office, and the search firm of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA), has engaged residents and stakeholders in a robust public process that included seven public forums, key stakeholder interviews and focus groups, and an online survey. Through these outreach methods, over 1,450 community members have directly participated in developing the criteria that will be used to hire a new Superintendent of Schools.

About Boston Superintendent Search Committee

The Boston Superintendent Search Committee was formally created in February 2014 by a unanimous vote of the Boston School Committee. The Search Committee possesses a deep knowledge of BPS and represents Boston’s rich diversity, including perspectives from teachers, current and former school administrators, higher education leaders, parents, business and philanthropy.

The Search Committee’s work has included the recommendation of a national search firm to assist in the selection process, soliciting public input to develop criteria to look for in a new Superintendent, engaging in an extensive search for candidates that matched criteria, and vetting the pool of candidates presented by the search firm.
