Centennial Schools Superintendent Search Underway

WARMINSTER, PA —The Centennial School District has officially begun its search to replace Schools Superintendent Dana T. Bedden, who is leaving at the end of June.

The Bucks County Intermediate Unit has been retained to conduct the search for the school district.

As an experienced facilitator of superintendent search services, the Bucks IU does not charge a fee for this service for school districts located in Bucks County, although the Bucks IU will be reimbursed by the district for any out-of-pocket advertising or other costs associated with the position posting.

As a part of the search process, the district’s Board of School Directors is interested in hearing from the Centennial school community about the strengths, characteristics, skills, and priorities of the next superintendent.

The school board is seeking input from students, staff, taxpayers, and other community members using a survey. Click here to take the survey.

The survey data will be used by the school board to help create interview questions and to aid in
distinguishing candidates that meet the identified qualifications.

The survey will be available until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.

The Bucks County IU will work with the Board of School Directors to advertise the position, develop interview questions and protocols, as well as organize and coordinate the logistics of scheduling and facilitating the various rounds of the interview process.

The school board will be solely responsible for the selection of candidates to advance through the interview process and in selecting the next superintendent.

A community forum to introduce the new superintendent will be arranged and announced once the final selection is completed.

Updates on the search process and a summary analysis of survey results will be shared with
the community as results are available, the Bucks County IU said.
