Community input is crucial as the district looks to pick its next superintendent
K-12 Dive published a brief on how community input impacts school board leadership decision.
“If school boards decide to include community input in the process, it is important for this process to be as transparent as possible. Community meetings or forums need to be widely and publicly announced, and using online surveys or other methods of gathering input are often good ideas to capture feedback from a greater number of stakeholders. The results of these surveys can also be enlightening in providing direction as school board members go through the expensive process of selecting new leadership, and they can pinpoint areas in which a community's understanding of the state of the school district may be lacking.” - written by Amelia Harper
