Superintendent Search Underway

The Berryessa School Board approved the timeline for our superintendent search last night and we plan on interviewing finalists in early June. The official job announcement will be hitting trade publications starting the week of April 18.

Next week, the district, with the help of search consultant ELS, will be developing our district's leadership profile, which describes the leadership qualities we will be looking for in our superintendent. Wendell Chun from ELS will be in the district next week to interview stakeholders, which includes parents, teachers, classified employees, students, and other community members. It is important to have a broad cross section of the community involved in order to get a good feel for the culture of the community and our schools.

Your participation in this process will help to ensure that our district finds the right superintendent. Each stakeholder will be offered a 15 minute interview time on Monday until 8 pm or Tuesday 9-5. If you are interested in participating in the process, please contact me. Or you can contact Michele Holscher at the district office directly. She will be organizing Dr. Chun's schedule for the two days.

Another way to provide input is to fill out a survey that asks questions about what characteristics and qualifications you want in a board member and your thoughts on the state of the district. The survey is available on the district website to print, complete, and send by mail.
