Board sets community forums for superintendent input

By Megan Gildow | Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 09:56 AM

Springfield City Schools has announced details for upcoming community forums to gather input on qualities the community would like to see in the district’s next superintendent and the high school campus director.

Invitation-only focus groups will be held throughout the day Dec. 17 with open meetings at night for anyone interested in participating, board President Donna Picklesimer said.

There are four opportunities: Meetings begin at 5 and 7 p.m. and will be held at Hayward and Roosevelt middle schools. Meetings will be held at both times at both schools.

You can also participate online for the duration of the process.

The information gathered from this input will be used to create a leadership profile of the qualities the district is looking for in its candidates, according to the firm running the search, BWP & Associates.

Are you planning to participate in this process?
