Pocantico School Board Seeks Input on Superintendent Search

The Pocantico Hills Board of Education has begun the process of searching for a superintendent of schools to replace Carol Conklin-Spillane, who announced her retirement effective June 30, 2019. The Board of Education has retained the services of Bob Christmann, lead consultant at New York State Leadership Group, to assist in this process. The search will begin by engaging district stakeholders and community members to assist in formulating the desired profile of the next superintendent.

“Our community has a vital role to play in the search process. Their input will bring a sharp focus to the leadership qualities and vision best suited for our district,” Board President Al Pacile said.

The sessions will be held in the Pocantico Hills School Library, and will be tailored to specific stakeholder groups. The sessions are organized as follows:
