The search for a new Superintendent has officially begun, and the District is looking for you to be part of the process. Leadership Associates—the firm tasked with searching for a new Superintendent—would like to meet with two parents/family representatives from each school to discuss characteristics of a new Superintendent. These informational sessions are Monday, Dec. 7, or Tuesday, Dec. 8, from 5 to 6 p.m. or 6:30 to 7:30 pm via Zoom. Please contact me or the school if you are interested in participating. Leadership Associates is also launching a Superintendent Search Community Survey available from Monday, Nov. 30 through Thursday, Dec. 10. This survey is taken by families, students, staff, and community members and plays an important role in selecting the next Superintendent. The survey will be available at www.wccusd.net/superintendentsearch in English and Spanish.
