Nevada Seeks Community Input for New State Superintendent
The Nevada State Board of Education is actively seeking community input to guide the selection of a new State Superintendent. Recognizing the importance of public engagement in this decision, the Board has launched an anonymous survey to gather insights on the desired qualities and qualifications for the next superintendent. The survey is accessible until Friday, February 23, and can be found on the Nevada Department of Education’s website.
This initiative underscores the Board’s commitment to transparency and inclusivity in the selection process. By involving community members, educators, and stakeholders, the Board aims to ensure that the chosen superintendent aligns with the values and needs of Nevada’s educational community.
The survey results will play a pivotal role in shaping the criteria for potential candidates. The Board has engaged McPherson & Jacobson, L.L.C., a firm specializing in educational leadership recruitment, to assist in identifying and screening applicants. The goal is to finalize the selection by mid-May, with the new superintendent expected to assume duties on or before July 1.
Community participation is vital in this process, as the superintendent will be instrumental in steering Nevada’s educational policies and initiatives. Residents are encouraged to share their perspectives to contribute to the future of education in the state.
