On Hiring a new Superintendent: 

I will insist that the new superintendent be in harmony with our community’s vision for change.  The new superintendent should be clear about the district’s goals for student performance and fiscal discipline. 

I support having the Superintendent’s employment contract tied to producing such results. 

These are some of the qualifications I would look for in the candidate:

  • a record of successful leadership in a standards-based environment;

  • a commitment to high expectations for all students and the idea that everyone can learn;

  • a belief in a collaborative model of communication, including excellent communication skills;

  • proven skills in interpreting and implementing board policy;

  • a demonstrated record of improving academic performance;

  • a proven commitment to implementing the district's strategic education plan;

  • commitment to imparting all academic skills -- basic skills and advanced skills;

  • demonstrated skills and qualities of a master teacher; and

  • a track record of success in fiscal discipline.

  • In addition, I would seek a candidate who would find creative solutions to educating at-risk students.
