BISD to host community involvement session Jan. 13 for superintendent search
The Breckenridge Independent School District Board of Trustees with assistance from the Texas Association of School Boards Executive Search Services has begun work to select a new superintendent for the district. As a part of that process, the TASB search consultant will host a Community Involvement Session from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday, Jan, 13, in the media room of the BISD Athletic and Fine Arts Facility (the “new gym”).
The session is part of a process for the district and the search consultants to meet with various groups in the community to develop a profile of the leadership qualities desired in the new superintendent.
To provide residents and employees an opportunity to offer their input, a number of meetings are being scheduled. The consultants and BISD administrators encourage members of the community to participate in one of the planned opportunities.
The session on Monday, Jan. 13, will be divided into three sections for specific groups of people:
- Any District Employee: 4 – 5 p.m.
- Open to the Public: 5 – 6 p.m.
- Open to the Public: 6 – 7 p.m.
The meeting is expected to last approximately one hour per group.
For those who cannot attend the meeting, a questionnaire with the same questions the TASB consultant will ask is also available online at https://surveys.tasb.org/s3/breckenridge-leadership-survey. Click that link any time before midnight Saturday, Jan. 25, to provide your responses online.
Applications for the superintendent position are due by midnight Feb. 18. Interviews are scheduled for March, and the Board of Trustees expects to hire the new superintendent by the end of April.
