PARENT FORUMS

Dear Doane Academy Parents and Guardians,

Please attend one session per candidate. After each visit, you will receive a link with a survey to tell the search committee what you think about the candidates.
Reminder about the candidate visits:
These visits represent important and exhilarating moments for our school. They give the candidates essential opportunities to meet the people of our school, to understand what makes Doane special and unique, and to explore the environment in and around Burlington with their families. Moreover, on-campus visitations allow us to show these candidates the best of who we are and what matters most to us. I know that you all will join me in welcoming each of these candidates to campus and in showing them what we value as a community.
A day or two prior to each visit, the committee will post a biographical profile of that candidate on the Head of School search web-page. As was the case in the drafting of the position statement, the committee, through the assistance of RG175, will survey the Doane community on each of these candidates following their visits. My hope today is that our community will mobilize yet again for these visits to continue to provide the rich commentary that has been essential to the work of the committee throughout the search.
Among the many conversations that we will all have over the next several weeks are those that focus on what it means to learn, teach, and work in “a community where all are known, loved, and strongly encouraged to discover their unique potential.” We invite all members of the Doane community to join in those conversations as we search for our next Head of School.
Sincerely,
Heather Buzick ’97, P ’29, P ‘32
Chair, Head of School Search Committee
