Superintendent Searches

Superintendent searches take time and careful planning. By working with the District Superintendent's office at BOCES, component schools can save the cost of hiring a private consultant to fill superintendent vacancies. 

Generally, the process takes about six months and includes:

• A preliminary meeting between board of education and BOCES administrators.

• A school/community meeting to develop a list of characteristics of the superintendent.

• Advertising in local, regional and national publications.

• Preparing and mailing materials such as brochures, applications, letters.

• Screening applications, verifying credentials, and selecting 12 to 15 semifinalists.

• Coordinating and overseeing interviews of six to eight semifinalists by the board of education.

• Coordinating and overseeing interviews of three to five finalists by the board of education and school/community teams.

• Arranging a visit to the school district of the top candidate.

For more information about superintendent searches call 862-4900.
