Montgomery County Schools Board Seeks Public Input on Superintendent Search

The Montgomery County Schools Board of Education has hired the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA) to help facilitate its search for the next superintendent of Montgomery County Schools (MCS). To that end, the board is seeking direct input from interested students, parents, other members of the community, and staff to help shape the search process and to assist in defining the characteristics, experience, and skills desired in the next MCS superintendent.

Community Survey. The board invites students, parents, and other members of the community to participate in a community survey that can be accessed and completed online by clicking the superintendent search survey link on the MCS website: https://www.montgomery.k12.nc.us/ . All surveys must be completed by Tuesday, January 21, 2025, with results to be compiled, summarized, and presented by NCSBA at the MCS special-called board meeting on February 3, 2025.

Staff Survey. In addition, all MCS employees will have an opportunity to complete a separate online staff survey. Details about completing the employee version of the superintendent search survey will be communicated via school system e-mail. All surveys must be completed by Tuesday, January 21, 2025, with results to be compiled, summarized, and presented by NCSBA at the MCS special-called board meeting on February 3, 2025.

Statements from Community Groups and Organizations. In addition to input received from the surveys, local groups and organizations may submit written statements regarding the leadership qualities that they consider important in the next superintendent. Such statements should be submitted directly to NCSBA via e-mail at sthorp@ncsba.org  and should be received no later than Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
