W-E SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH UPDATE

Finding Leaders, the District’s search firm, completed multiple focus groups and an online survey recently.

Over 100 stakeholders participated in the focus groups and more than 500 individuals completed the online survey, providing us with a clear understanding of the priorities and expectations of our community, parents, and staff. The feedback was used to identify common themes and develop a profile for the desired characteristics of the next superintendent.

Thank you to all of you that took the time to provide feedback!

Finding Leaders is currently in the process of recruiting candidates, with interviews beginning shortly. Semi-finalists will be presented to the Board in March and the final round of interviews will take place in early April.
