***Press Release***
The RE-1 Valley Board of Education has begun the search for a new superintendent to replace Dr. Betty Summers who is retiring after ten years’ service to the District. The Board has hired the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) to facilitate the process and expects to name the new superintendent in late May for a July 1 hire date.
The process will begin February 8 with focus group meetings of selected District employees and students. Parents, patrons and area businesses and organizations will be invited to participate on one of the scheduled dates below to design a leadership profile for the new superintendent. While the meetings will be tailored to the designated focus groups, interested parties may attend at their convenience or complete a brief survey from the District’s website available after February 12th.
Date Time Location Focus Group
February 11 9:30 a.m. Sterling Public Library Parents/Community Members
February 11 6:30 p.m. Hagen Administration Board Room Parents/Community Members
February 12 12:00 p.m. Sterling Public Library Community Business/Organizations
February 12 6:30 p.m. Caliche High School Caliche Parents/Iliff Community Members
“Ultimately, the decision is the responsibility of the Board, but the Board of Education feels that with CASB’s guidance and employee and community input, we will be able to make the best possible match for our school district’s next leader,” said Eric Windom, board president.
CASB services include: a priority-setting session with the board; focus groups with staff and community; developing and distributing a brochure and advertising for the position that reflects the board’s, staff’s and community’s values; management of all application files; applicant recruitment; assisting the board with screening and interview processes; conducting background checks; notification of unsuccessful candidates; and assistance with a first-year performance plan.
