Kitsap Sun 3/3/23:  Bremerton Selects Alum James Crawford to Fill School Superintendent Position

2/27/22 -  Kitsap Sun Bremerton School District reveals finalists for superintendent post

This update was shared in the 2/16 BSD Family Update. 

The Bremerton School Board will announce the names of the three superintendent candidates on Monday, February 27. These candidates will be visiting the District on February 28, March 1 and March 2 (one finalist per day.) After a full day of touring the district and meeting students and staff, we will host a community forum (in-person and on Zoom) each evening from 5-5:45 p.m. to provide an opportunity for everyone to meet and provide feedback on each of the three finalists.

Reminder: Staff, students, families and community members are invited to submit questions for the finalists ahead of time and we’ll work with our consultants to narrow the questions down for the forums. We’ll do our best to cover all questions submitted but we only have an hour, and we have to ask the same questions of each finalist. We will accept questions through Monday, February 20.

On Friday, March 3, the Board will meet in a special session at 9 a.m. to announce the name of the finalist selected to serve as the next Superintendent. This meeting is open to the pubic and will be in-person and on Zoom. A public announcement will follow.

We hope you will be a part of this important process and will join us for the community forums! Please visit www.BremertonSchools.org/Sup-Search for meeting details and updates.

I am pleased to share an exciting update about our search for the next Bremerton School District superintendent.

Our consultants have been hard at work promoting and recruiting applicants for our Superintendent position. The deadline for applying has closed, and the Board is reviewing all applications and will be selecting 6 semi-finalists who will be interviewed later this month. From those interviews, three finalists will be invited to visit the District on February 28, March 1 and March 2 (one finalist per day.) After a full day of touring the district and meeting students and staff, we will host a community forum (in-person and on Zoom) each evening from 5-6 p.m. to provide an opportunity for everyone to meet each of the three finalists. Finalists' resumes will be posted on the District website by Monday, February 27.

We invite you to submit questions for the finalists ahead of time and we’ll work with our consultants to narrow the questions down for the forums. We’ll do our best to cover all questions submitted but we only have an hour, and we have to ask the same questions of each finalist.

At the end of each forum, attendees will be invited to submit their thoughts, comments, and feedback on each of the three finalists.

On Friday, March 3, the Board will meet in a special session at 9 a.m. to announce the name of the finalist selected to serve as the next Superintendent. This meeting will be in-person and on zoom - and open to the public.

The vote will allow me, as Board President, to move forward with negotiating a contract with the finalist the Board has chosen. If all goes as planned, the Board will then approve the new superintendent’s contract at the March 16 regular Board meeting.

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to be a part of this important process and hope you’ll join us for the community forums! Visit www.BremertonSchools.org/Sup-Search for updates and information.

Thank you!

The following update was included in the 1/24/23 BSD Family Updates newsletter. 

Our consultants have been hard at work promoting and recruiting applicants for our Superintendent position. The application deadline is this Friday.

The Board will be reviewing all applications and narrowing it down to six semi-finalists who will be interviewed by the Board in an executive session (closed to the public) in late February. From those interviews, three finalists will be selected and their resumes will be posted on the District website.

These finalists will be invited to visit the District on February 28, March 1 and March 2 (one finalist per day.) After a full day of touring the district and meeting students and staff, we will host a community forum (in-person and on Zoom) each evening from 5-6 p.m. to provide an opportunity for everyone to meet each of the three finalists.

Staff, students, families and community members are invited to submit questions for the finalists ahead of time and we’ll work with our consultants to narrow the questions down for the forums. We’ll do our best to cover all questions submitted but we only have an hour, and we have to ask the same questions of each finalist.

At the end of each forum, attendees will be invited to submit their thoughts, comments, and feedback on each of the three finalists via a Google Form (Links will be posted after each Forum).

On Friday, March 3, the Board will meet in a special session at 9 a.m. to announce the name of the finalist selected to serve as the next Superintendent. This meeting will be in-person and on zoom - and open to the public.

The vote will allow me, as Board President, to move forward with negotiating a contract with the finalist the Board has chosen. If all goes as planned, the Board will then approve the new superintendent’s contract at the March 16 regular Board meeting.
