To begin the process of finding a new superintendent in 2011, the Eugene School Board selected an executive search consultant and appointed a citizen search committee.
The role of the Superintendent Search Committee was to provide input and assistance during the superintendent search process. The committee:
- Gathered stakeholder input and advised the search consultant on the development of a superintendent profile, recruitment timeline, advertisement and recruitment plan.
- Reviewed the applicant pool and provided input on the selection of candidates to advance for interviews.
- Assisted the consultant in developing the interview protocol and interview questions.
- Interviewed candidates and provided feedback.
The consultants recommended a list of finalists to the school board, which then interviewed finalists and made a hiring decision.
Committee Members
The committee roster represents a diverse sampling of the Eugene community and the district’s stakeholders, including district staff, K–12 and college students, business leaders, and other community members.
