Online Superintendent Survey

September 2010

Dear School District Stakeholders:

The Cobb County Board of Education has begun the process of hiring a new superintendent for our school district. As you know, current Superintendent Fred Sanderson has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2011. The school board also is experiencing transition with at least two new members taking office on January 1, 2011. The current board met on August 23, 2010 to discuss the superintendent search process and timeline, and made the following decisions:

• The new superintendent will be hired by the Board of Education that takes office on January 1, 2011. The current Board will begin the process of gathering public input and accepting applications.
• In early September, the school district will conduct an online survey that solicits input from the broader community on desired qualities of superintendent candidates.
• In early October, the school district will conduct focus groups to determine desired qualities and attributes of superintendent candidates.
• The superintendent position opening will be advertised sometime in November or December.
• The Board of Education will hire a neutral outside group or firm to receive applications and pare them down to a manageable set of qualified candidates.
• In January, the Board of Education will begin considering and interviewing candidates.

We wanted to share this information with you to ensure you are informed throughout the process, and we will update the timeline as needed. We look forward to your input and believe that together we will find an outstanding candidate to lead our great school district.

Sincerely,

Cobb County Board of Education

Lynnda Crowder-Eagle, Chairperson
Holli Cash, Vice-Chairperson
