Kirkwood School Board Announces Community Engagement Opportunities for Superintendent Search

Kirkwood School Board Announces Community Engagement Opportunities for Superintendent Search

The Kirkwood School Board is seeking public input about the selection of a new superintendent to lead the Kirkwood School District. Findings will be used to develop a New Superintendent Profile that will be reported to the Board and utilized throughout the hiring process.  

In August, the Board selected School Exec Connect, an educational search firm, to conduct a national search for the next superintendent of the Kirkwood School District. The firm is assisting with staff and community engagement efforts on the search and has developed a detailed timeline to guide the efforts.

The general public will be able to provide feedback through a brief survey that will be posted on the Kirkwood School District website on Oct. 14. The survey will be available at kirkwoodschools.org/supsearch24 until Oct. 21. 

In addition to the survey, the public is invited to provide input on the district’s strengths, the district’s challenges, and the characteristics the next superintendent should possess in an open forum for community members on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. at Kirkwood High School in the Keating Center. Attendees may park in the Essex parking lot.  

Additional details, the full timeline and updated information as it is available will be posted publicly at kirkwoodschools.org/supsearch24.
