Windsor Locks Asks For Public's Help In Superintendent Search

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT - The district's search for a superintendent has begun, and the district is inviting the public to weigh in on what they're looking for in a leader in both focus groups and an online survey. The district has hired Trumbull-based firm Cooperative Educational Services (C.E.S.) to help guide the process.

Board of Education Chairwoman Patricia King is leading the five-member Superintendent Search Committee, according to a statement from the district. The district hopes to fill the position by 2019, and C.E.S. has already contacted 2,000 superintendents across the region.

The new superintendent will replace Susan Bell. Bell took the position in 2014 and resigned at the end of June.

The public will have two opportunities to participate in the process. One is a series of focus groups.

The schedule for the focus groups is:
July 25 at the Windsor Locks High School Media Center
10 a.m.: Students of Windsor Locks Public Schools
11 a.m.: The district’s leadership team
1 p.m.: Teachers and non-certified staff
2 p.m.: Parents of Windsor Locks students
3:30 p.m.: Windsor Locks public officials
6 p.m.: Windsor Locks residents, business community and parents of students
July 30 at the Senior Center, 41 Oak St.
10:30 a.m.: Senior citizens of Windsor Locks

The other is an online survey, which will be open to Windsor Locks residents and school staff, available through July 30 at www.wlps.org.
