Search For New Dublin Superintendent Underway

DUBLIN, CA — Two weeks after the Dublin Unified School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a labor contract for its teachers, the search has begun to find a new superintendent. The new hire will replace Dr. Leslie Boozer, who abruptly stepped down as the superintendent in March.

Boozer's last day was March 26, just weeks after longtime school board member Dan Cunningham submitted his verbal resignation. In February, Niranjana Natarajan, a newly appointed Trustee, was terminated after a community petition was filed with the county.

On April 15, Dr. Dave Marken took over as the Interim Superintendent of the Dublin Unified School District.

The school board recently sent a letter to the community about the process in place to find a suitable candidate.

Dublin Unified School District Community,

As you know, we have launched the search process for our next Superintendent of Schools. We are eager to receive your input as we formulate the Dublin Unified School District Superintendent Leadership Profile that will guide this important work. The action plan/timeline for the search process can be found here.

The first step in this process is to gather input from all members of our school community, including employees, parents, students, city and civic leaders, and the community-at-large, to shape the Dublin Unified School District Superintendent Leadership Profile. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the leadership characteristics and skills you feel are essential in your next superintendent. Please complete the Community Survey at http://bit.ly/DUSD-Superintendent-Survey by May 23.

Please go to our survey site to share your thoughts on essential leadership skills. You may visit this site more than once, and you need not provide your name. Board members will receive a full and unfiltered report of all input provided.

COMMUNITY INPUT MEETINGS:

Two community meetings are scheduled to gather your thoughts on the essential leadership skills you desire in our next Superintendent of Schools.
