Dear Friends and Families of Shaker Heights Schools:
The Board of Education extends its gratitude for your thoughtful responses to our Leadership Priority Survey, participation in our Community Input Sessions and attendance at one of our 30 focus groups as we begin the search for our next superintendent. The 849 responses we received to the Leadership Priority Survey is a testament to our community’s commitment to continuing educational excellence at our schools.
As your Board, we take very seriously
our primary responsibility
: that is, to select and employ a Superintendent. Please know we have approached this search process with open minds and we remain guided by our duties as the District’s governing body.
To that end, the Board will send regular updates on the search process to our Shaker Schools families and to community members via email (community members may
subscribe to our emails here
). We also invite you to stay up-to-date on the search process by visiting the
Superintendent Search section of the District website
. There, you can find more information about the superintendent search timeline, the search firm Ray & Associations and an archive of our news and communications regarding the search. We also strongly encourage you to visit the
Superintendent Search Process FAQ
, which has answers to questions the Board often receives about the search.
Again, thank you for your participation in this important decision. Your feedback and continued support of this search process is valuable and crucial in the Board’s efforts to select the District’s next superintendent.
Sincerely,
The Board of Education
