  • Superintendent Search Community and Staff Engagement Survey

    Spring 2026

  • Community and Staff Input

    Thank you for sharing your perspective regarding the qualities, experiences, and skills that you would like to see in the district's next superintendent. The survey is being administered by the MASB Executive Search team on behalf of the district and takes about ten minutes to complete. Anonymous individual responses like yours will be combined with those from other community members to provide important input to the Board of Education as it seeks to identify the best candidate for the position. Consolidated results from all returned surveys will be reported publicly.

  • To begin, we have just a few questions that will help us categorize your answers with other similar community members in this process.

  • If you are a resident, how long have you lived in the school district?*
  • How long have you worked for the school district? *
  • Which type(s) of community member are you? Please select ALL categories that apply.*

  • Ideal Superintendent Profile

    As you go through this survey, you will probably find that every trait and skill discussed is important to you at least to some extent. Your challenge is to help us prioritize between traits that are somewhat important for the next superintendent and those that are critically important—so try to use the full range of any scales we provide and reserve “top box” ratings for only the few items that, in your mind, rise above the rest.

  • What is the minimum level of education you want the Board to consider when evaluating candidates for the superintendent position?*
  • Below is a list of positions that superintendent candidates may have held in the past. Which prior positions do you think would prove most valuable for the next superintendent? Choose UP TO three positions.*
  • Rows
  • Below are six different leadership style descriptions. Recognizing that a leader may employ all of these management styles in different situations and at different points in time, are there some that you think should be the dominant style for an effective superintendent? Choose UP TO TWO management styles that you would like the next superintendent to employ most often.*
