Superintendent Search
About the Process
Our search for the next superintendent of schools for Avonworth School District is underway! The School Board has hired the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) to lead us through the process of searching for our next superintendent.
Communicating with you, our district stakeholders, is integral to the search process. Updates regarding the search will be posted on the district’s website as new developments in the process unfold.
We will engage our community in guiding and informing our search process through the use of focus groups and survey tools as well as community updates from the School Board. To attract a wide field of experienced candidates, it is necessary that the superintendent search process be confidential. This means that only the Board and the CCIU search team will be privy to the candidates' information and involved in the interview process.
With that said, the School Board intends to see input from our school community through a series of virtual focus groups facilitated by the CCIU. We want to know your views, and we welcome dialogue about the future direction of the Avonworth School District. To encourage open and honest conversations, the Board and central administration will not be present during any of the focus group meetings.
CCIU representatives will facilitate the meetings and collect all information in aggregate to preserve anonymity. A candidate profile outlining desired experience, skills and characteristics, and interview questions will be created based on stakeholder priorities and feedback.
Information regarding how to participate in this process will be forthcoming in a future communication.
