Greendale Schools Will Seek Community Input for Superintendent Search

An open forum on May 31 and an online survey will help a contracted firm develop a leadership profile to assist in the search for Greendale's next superintendent

A contracted firm will seek community input through an open forum and online survey to help develop a leadership profile that will assist in the recruitment of Greendale’s next superintendent.

The Greendale School Board selected the firm Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates (HYA) to assist with the district's search for the next Superintendent after Dr. William Hughes announced his resignation effective July 1, 2012.

The forum, moderated by the firm, will take place on May 31 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Greendale High School Library to obtain input and feedback from the community, staff and families.

It will be open to all members of the community. At Monday's meeting School Board President Joe Crapitto said consultants will ask attendees three general questions:

  • What are you proud of in the Greendale Schools?
  • What concerns are in front of the district that need to be addressed?
  • What are personal and professional characteristics will be necessary to be successful here in Greendale?

The online survey will be created with about three or four-dozen characteristics and attributes. Individuals will need to identify themselves as teachers, administrators or community members. Those unable to attend the forum are encouraged to share their thoughts in the online survey available on the District's website at www.greendale.k12.wi.us from May 22 through June 5.

The firm will then use the information to create a leadership profile that will be used to recruit the next superintendent.

Key individuals, such as teacher leaders and Village officials, will also meet with the firm to give their input.

“This Community Forum is a key step in the search process and will help identify the characteristics the community is seeking in our next Superintendent,” Crapitto said in a release. “Anyone interested about the process is invited to attend. This is an opportunity for the community to participate in the process.”
