Preliminary List of Superintendent Candidates Presented to the Board

As I shared with you on November 1, the search for our next superintendent is progressing on schedule. This month, School Exec Connect used the leadership profile to screen initial applicants. Their goal was to identify the most qualified candidates who best met the criteria outlined in the leadership profile.

I am pleased to tell you that at a special meeting on November 22, the search firm presented a list of several highly qualified candidates to the board for consideration. The list will remain confidential in order to protect the privacy of candidates who may hold other positions.

Board members will conduct interviews with these candidates on December 2 and 4, and then select three finalists for another round of interviews which will take place on December 13 through 15.

These final interviews will be conducted by the school board and a confidential committee of community members and staff. Based on feedback from the interviews, the board will select Parkway's next superintendent. If all goes as planned, the name of the new superintendent will be announced as early as December 16.

This is an exciting time for Parkway, and the board appreciates your interest and involvement. We will continue to keep you updated on our progress
