The trustees of the Davis Joint Unified School District will select a new district superintendent. Community input about the desired characteristics to be used in recruiting and selecting this person is desired. The trustees are soliciting input to respond to the following prompts:
- What personal and professional qualities for an incoming superintendent will be a match for Davis Joint Unified School District?
- What are the strengths of the District, and what are the challenges you see for the District in the coming years?
Jim Brown and Peggy Lynch of Leadership Associates were selected to advise the Board in this important process. They will be in our district on March 30 and 31, 2016.
Individual input from members of the community (parents, employees and others interested in our district) is desired. People may meet as individuals, in small groups, or in an Open Forum. Input may also be offered through fax, letter or email; direct telephone conversation may also be arranged. Additionally, an online survey is available on the District’s website at www.djusd.net and following “Superintendent Search 2016” link.
Individual and small group appointments will be held in the district office located at 526 B Street between 1:00 and 3:10 p.m. on March 30, or between 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on March 31. To arrange an appointment, please call Penny Pyle at 757-5300 x 142.
To attend and participate in an Open Forum, where your ideas will be heard and you will learn more about the process, no appointment is necessary. The Open Forums will be held in the Community Chambers, located at 23 Russell Boulevard on March 30. DJUSD employees are invited to attend from 3:30 to 4:30 pm; the community at large is invited from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
If you are unable to meet personally with the Board’s advisors, you may send an email to lhunt@leadershipassociates.org. To speak by phone to either consultant, you may call (760) 771-4277. The public is also invited to share their input by attending Board of Education Office hours on most Mondays from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the District Office or by emailing SuperintendentSearch@djusd.net.
