Radnor School District Reviewing Superinendent Candidates

Radnor Township School District announced Wednesday that the Board of School Directors has begun reviewing superintendent applicants and will prepare questions for selected applicants based off of community and faculty input.

"The Board has been able to review the community and staff focus group comments as well as information on effective educational and organizational leadership in order to begin constructing the questions to be asked of the candidates," a district statement said.

The board hosted community input focus groups on Aug. 31 and Sept. 13 where citizens were asked to explore the strengths and areas for improvement in the district as well as discuss the strategic competencies and leadership experiences necessary for the next superintendent.

"We are striving to make sure everyone feels comfortable attending and expressing their views with candor and honesty," the district said of the focus groups.

Tom Templeton, project manager for TEMPLETON Advantage, will facilitated the focus group conversations and has provided the board with a report on the groups.

The district said in its announcement Wednesday that more information will be made available after first round interviews are completed.

Dr. Anthony Costello took over the superintendent position Sept. 1 after Dr. Michael Kelly announced in February he would be stepping away form the position on Aug. 25.
