BCPS Superintendent Search To Start
The Baltimore County Board of Education announced that a search firm would help locate candidates for the next superintendent.
From The Baltimore County BOE: The Board of Education of Baltimore County will initiate a full and fair search for the next superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools. To facilitate the search process and identification of potential candidates, the Board will retain the services of an executive search firm. The specific firm has not yet been determined.
“I am pleased that the Board has taken this next step to responsibly deliver on our most important commitment on behalf of the more than 113,000 students and over 18,000 employees we serve,” commented Board Chair Kathleen Causey.
“The Board believes strongly that the search process must be as transparent as possible and include input from the public and from stakeholders and our intention is to engage a firm whose search process is aligned with these goals to identify and retain the services of the best candidate available,” added Board Vice Chair Julie Henn, who serves as chair of the Board’s ad hoc superintendent search committee.
The current Interim Superintendent’s contract expires on June 30, 2019. The Board is required, by law, to hire a permanent superintendent before July 1, 2019.
