Pennsauken School District Seeks Community Feedback For Superintendent Search
By the Pennsauken Township Board of Education
The Pennsauken Board of Education is gearing up for a search for a new superintendent to lead the Pennsauken School District. The timeline includes target dates for posting the job, deadline for receipt of applications, and review of submitted applications and interviews. An important part of the process, which is included in our timeline, is the opportunity for community input.
Though the hiring of a superintendent is the sole responsibility of the Board of Education, our members believe that the Pennsauken community has a huge stake in the outcome of this process. Whether or not you have children attending the schools, every resident of Pennsauken Township has ownership of this school district, since a significant portion of our budget is funded by tax dollars and a strong school district benefits everyone. Therefore, we welcome input from community members, as well as staff and students.
In order to give residents an opportunity to express their opinions regarding the qualities and skills needed to lead our schools, as well as the overall needs of our school district, we will be putting forth a survey to the Pennsauken Community. The Superintendent Search Survey will be available through Sept. 21 and will be found at pennsauken.net and via our social media outlets. The Board of Education members will collect these responses and utilize them as the process moves forward. We also invite any member of the public to share their opinions about the superintendent search during our monthly business meetings.
We look forward to receiving input from community members, as we move forward with this very important responsibility. Choosing the best candidate for superintendent of schools is paramount to ensuring success for our students and pride in the educational programs that Pennsauken School District offers.
