[Durham INC] Invitation from DPS Board of Education regarding superintendent search - Monday 4/21, 7pm

[Scott Carter]

Hello INC Community,

The INC has been invited by DPS to participate in a focus group to create a
candidate profile for selecting the next school superintendent.   This
meeting is next Monday, 4/21, at 7pm,
in the DPS Staff Development Center.    I am planning to participate and
would like to invite anyone else from the INC to join me.   This will be an
excellent opportunity to help
define the characteristics that Durham wants in a new superintendent.    If
you are interested in attending, please let me know by emailing me at
carterjs at us.ibm.com by the end of the day
on Thursday.     If you are not able to attend this meeting but have ideas
about the superintendent search, you can submit your comments at the web
links below.   Thanks.

Scott Carter
INC President

Subject: Important invitation from DPS Board of Education regarding
superintendent search



Dear Durham InterNeighborhood Council:
As you know, the Durham Public Schools Board of Education is conducting a
search for its next superintendent. Our board recognizes that selecting a
superintendent is one of its most important functions, and we believe the
candidate profile must match our community’s needs and interests.
Therefore, the board is seeking input from constituents and staff of the
school district to help develop a strong candidate profile to be used in
recruiting and selecting our next superintendent.
Ray and Associates, the search firm the board has hired to assist us, will
host a series of meetings with key community groups to gather input for the
candidate profile. We would like your organization to be part of a focus
group on Monday, April 21, from 7-8 p.m. in room M-6 of the Durham Public
Schools Staff Development Center on 2107 Hillandale Rd. If you would like
to participate in the process, please respond to PICE at dpsnc.net by
Thursday, April 17. At the focus group, a consultant from Ray and
Associates will present an overview of the search process and facilitate a
discussion with your group on the qualities you seek in the next
superintendent. Room M-6 can accommodate up to 10 participants.
If you are unable to attend the scheduled meetings, your members may
complete the superintendent profile survey online at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3PYT2X5 in English or
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GWJSK9K in Spanish. You are also welcome to
send written feedback directly to the board on the characteristics you seek
in a new superintendent.
If you have any questions, please contact us by phone or email. We very
much hope you will be able to participate. Our board values your input.
Sincerely,
Heidi Carter, Chair
DPS Board of Education
