Because, as go the schools, so goes the City.
An Invitation to Our Parents, Students and Community
As you may be aware, the Board of Education has initiated its search for a new superintendent of schools. To provide counsel to us in this important process, we have retained the services of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, Ltd., a search firm that specializes in assisting boards with the identification and selection of superintendents.
A very important step in this process is the identification of the characteristics we will be seeking in our new superintendent. We invite you to participate in the identification of these characteristics by attending a Community Information and Input Session and/or completing a Leadership Profile Assessment form which can be found on our web site.
The Community Information and Input Sessions, which will be facilitated by a member of the consultant firm, will be held on:
* Wed. Sept. 19 at 10:00 a.m. at the Exhibition Hall at Alliant Energy Center (1919 Alliant Energy Center Way)
* Wed. Sept. 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium at Memorial High School
* Thu. Sept. 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium at La Follette High SchoolThese sessions will likely be 60 to 90 minutes in length. Every effort will be made to provide Spanish and Hmong interpreters.
To access a Leadership Profile Assessment form, you can go to the Madison School District website ( www.mmsd.org) and click on “Superintendent Search”. You can:
1) complete a form and submit it electronically, or
2) print a form, complete it by hand, and either bring it with you to one of the Community Sessions or mail/fax it to the address/fax number indicated on the form.
All forms must be submitted by September 20.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this most important task.
Sincerely,
Arlene Silveira
President, Board of Education
