Superintendent Search Focus Groups and Online Survey

 

As most people in the community are aware, we have begun the process of searching for a new Superintendent of Schools. To that end, the Madison School District has engaged the services of the New England School Development Council (NESDEC) to assist in this important task.

 

Dr. Elizabeth Osga, a search consultant with NESDEC, will be assisting the Board of Education throughout the search process. As part of the process, NESDEC will be conducting a series of focus groups and posting an online survey.

 

Focus Groups

Focus groups are an important part of the process because they are designed to obtain the input of teachers, support staff, administrators, parents and community members about the attributes, experience and knowledge they believe the new superintendent should possess. The focus groups also provide an opportunity for participants to identify challenges upon which the new superintendent should concentrate.

Each focus group session will last approximately 1 – 1 ½ hours.

 

The scheduled focus group for parents and community members is Wednesday, June 10 at 7 p.m.

 

The parent and community member focus group will take place on Zoom. Please use the following link to join the meeting.

 

The Madison School District and NESDEC hope that you will be able to participate.

Online Survey

The survey is designed to obtain input from participants about the qualities, characteristics, skills, knowledge and experience that the new superintendent should possess in order to be a match for Madison’s needs.  Participants are also asked to provide input as to the immediate tasks and challenges the new superintendent should focus upon in his/her first year in the position.

 

 

All responses will be considered anonymous. The survey will be available online from June 8 through June 19.

 

Please consider participating in this outreach process. Your voice is valued and appreciated. Thank you for your involvement.
