Elementary Principal Search Moves Forward

The Bronxville School district launched its search for an Elementary Principal last week, with consultant Martin G. Brooks, Director of the Tri-State Consortium facilitating the process. Seven focus group meetings were held on December 12: Board of Education (3 people), interim principal, parents (19), faculty (32), district/building administrators (3), interim assistant principal, and curriculum leaders/policy board (9). An on-line survey was also conducted, with 61 responses.

The process continues on January 9, 2014, when there will be an additional evening session for parents in order to gather additional information. The consultant will then present his findings, including recommended specifications for the job.  The session will be held at 7:00 PM in the Board Room, located on the first floor of the old building. Members of the public wishing to offer comments at any time in the process may email the Superintendent here.

After this data-gathering phase, the process will shift to advertisements in multiple venues, recruitment, and screening of candidates.  The feedback received will also shape the interview process and a site visit. An appointment is scheduled for late spring.
