SUPERINTENDENT FINALIST COMMUNITY PRESENTATION AND INTERVIEW SCHEDULED
SAN DIEGO -- The selection process for a new Superintendent of the San Diego
Unified School District is coming to a conclusion.
The Board of Education will announce the final three candidates for the
position on Tuesday, June 15. These candidates will be invited to
participate in a televised interview and presentation to the community at 6
p.m., Thursday, June 17, at the Auditorium, Eugene Brucker Education Center,
4100 Normal St. (92103).
This community presentation marks the culmination of a search process that
over the last three months has given the public extensive opportunities to
share their opinions with the Board about the most desirable skills and
personal qualities needed in the next Superintendent. This outreach included
five town hall meetings attended by parents, students, employees and
community members as well as opportunities to submit suggestions through the
district website.
In addition the process included the involvement of a board-appointed
committee comprised of 15 volunteers who helped facilitate the town hall
meetings and reviewed all applications for the position. Based on community
input and the superintendent position description, the advisory committee
submitted their recommendations to the Board of the candidates to be
interviewed.
The Board will complete the interview process on June 15 and will announce
the top three candidates on that date. On June 17, each final candidate will
have 45 minutes to answer questions submitted in advance by the public and
to present their qualifications. The presentations are open to the public
and will be webcast as well as telecast live on Cable Channel 16. The
meeting video will be available for online viewing at any time. Please
submit your suggested questions through the Superintendent Search website at
www.sandi.net/suptsearch or by email to communications@sandi.net.
Following this community interview, the Board of Education plans to conduct
final interviews and make a selection of the new Superintendent at the end
of June or early July.
