[quote=Anonymous]The forum was facilitated by Charlene Dukes.  Rushern Baker made some opening remarks.  Segun Eubanks also said a few words.  Because of the type of format, there wasn't a lot of back and forth.  The response was typically to thank the caller and that they will make note of the concern / suggestion.

Suggestions put forth by the community on characteristics they were looking for in a the new CEO search included:

Someone with a commitment to longevity in the position given the frequent turnover of the superintendents.

Urging the committee to do a thorough background check and to exclude candidates that already seem to have a scandal in their past.

Someone who has been a teacher or a principal with a knowledge of the system from the ground up.

Someone from the county.

Someone who prioritizes communication and outreach to families

Someone who recognizes the communication challenges with getting immigrant families involved and is innovative in trying to get their input.

Someone who provides a mechanism to get feedback from teachers before implementing reforms.

Someone who recognizes the unique nature of the county and due to the size and diversity, understands that there is not a one size fits all approach that will work.  Be willing to go into the various areas and put in changes unique to that area that won't negatively impact other areas of the county that are doing well.

Someone who is committed to finding a happy medium between learning and a focus on test scores to ensure creativity remains in the classroom.

Someone who believes in the importance of the arts.

Someone who will adequately fund specialty programs that are performing well.  ex. french immersion schools do not have textbooks in french.

Someone who will work with the administration and teachers on professional development.  [/quote]
