SD 113 Wants Feedback on High School Principals

From District 113

There is still time for parents, community members, staff and students to provide input on their most desired characteristics for a new principal at either Deerfield High School or Highland Park High School.

To participate in the survey, go to www.dist113.org/leadership and click the appropriate link (Deerfield High School or Highland Park High School).

It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, and there is also a place for comments. The survey will close Nov. 24.

Input received will be presented to the board on Monday, December 8, and posted to the District 113 website soon thereafter.

In addition, a Superintendent Leadership Profile developed by District 113’s search firm, Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates, was presented to the Board on Nov. 10. It contains a summary of comments from focus groups and individual interviews, along with the results of the superintendent survey that was completed by 461 respondents.

The profile is posted at www.dist113.org/leadership, along with a one-page list of desired characteristics for a new superintendent. That list was developed by the search firm, based on stakeholder input, and was reviewed and edited by the School Board.

It will be the basis for Board and confidential stakeholder interviews of the top candidates.
