Dear SCS Staff and Parents:
Originally the Board of Education planned to appoint an interim superintendent and conduct a full superintendent search beginning in late November, which is usually an optimal time to seek candidates looking for new opportunities. However, several qualified candidates have already shown interest in the role, so we have decided to move forward with the superintendent search now. We believe this is the right move for our district to minimize disruption and start the 2024-25 school year off right.
We are posting the superintendent role immediately and officially beginning our search. We invite you to spread the word through the district and community to help us find the best possible candidates. Read our job posting to learn more about the candidates we’re seeking. Our goal is to close the search by the end of May and conduct background checks and perform interviews in June. We would like to finalize the process, select a candidate, and negotiate the contract in July in time to onboard the new superintendent before the school year begins.
SCS is a unique and special district focused on excellence in academic and extra-curricular performance. We are excited to find a superintendent who will maintain the values and traditions of our small and tight-knit community while helping us to reach higher.
If you have any questions about the superintendent search, please reach out to me or any other member of the Board of Education.
Go Eagles!
Jennifer Gottschalk
Board of Education President
