The Board of Education values community input as an essential part of the superintendent selection process. To ensure a collective and inclusive process, the Board solicited community input on the characteristics, experience, and skills desired in the next Superintendent via an online survey and in-person and virtual community input sessions.

All information gathered was presented to the Board and then compiled, summarized, and incorporated into the Superintendent position profile, which can be reviewed by clicking here.

Dr. Buitrago will assume her role in July, pending site visitation and formal board approval on May 12. For more information about Dr. Buitrago, please visit our news release.
