The RCS Board of Education met with Capital Region BOCES District Superintendent Lauren J Gemmill and Deputy District Superintendent Elizabeth Wood at a Special Board of Education Meeting on Wednesday, January 22, to outline a plan for finding the next superintendent of schools.
The first step in finding the next school leader is to gather community feedback via an online survey and a series of focus groups held over the next month.
The brief, anonymous survey seeks input about what characteristics and skills are desired of the next superintendent. The survey is for all members of the greater school community, including students, parents, staff, and residents. The survey will remain open until February 26, 2025.
Take the superintendent search survey
A schedule of focus groups is forthcoming. Focus groups will be open to various groups in the community, and are an opportunity to further explore the same five questions asked in the survey. Feedback from the survey and focus groups will inform interview questions and the invitation to apply, slated to go live on or about March 3, 2025.
The RCS Board of Education’s goal is to select and announce the next superintendent in early summer.
