Superintendent Criteria Nears Adoption
The list of qualities and qualifications the school board will use to find 4J's next superintendent is closing in on adoption — thanks to extensive community input.
4J's search firm, Human Capital Enterprises, developed the Next Superintendent Criteria from feedback gathered from students, families, staff and community members through dozens of focus groups and an online survey. The school board will use the criteria, once adopted, to select finalists and make a final hiring decision following interviews in the spring.
The draft standards outline nearly a dozen sought-after attributes in a new superintendent, including visionary leadership; unwavering dedication to equity and inclusion; and advocacy for creativity and innovation. The school board reviewed a set of initial draft criteria during the Jan. 8 work session, made edits after hearing public comment at the start of the meeting, and is scheduled to adopt the modified list at its meeting on Jan 15.
People may sign up online to speak to the board during the Jan. 15 meeting's public comment section, or email the board at board@4j.lane.edu. Thank you for helping bring this process to an important milestone.
