CLOSES MARCH 16 AT 4:00PM - Superintendent Search Survey

The St. Johns Public Schools Board of Education is beginning the task of searching for the district’s new Superintendent of Schools, as Mr. Mark Palmer has announced his retirement.  He has served the district admirably for five years in this position.

The selection process, up to and including the appointment of a new Superintendent, is extremely important to ensure the ongoing success of the district.  In addition to the Board of Education, staff and community groups can play a very important role in the search process. The Board will be assisted by the Michigan Leadership Institute during this process.  Andy Ingall, MLI Executive Search Consultant will lead the search process. 

Excellent schools with satisfied students, parents and staff are assisted by high quality educational leadership.  Few aspects of the educational system are as important as the quality of leadership provided by the Superintendent.  Therefore, the candidates for this position will be expected to possess and demonstrate many qualifications, skills and abilities, including the ability to help forge strong partnerships with teachers, students, parents and community. 

The first opportunity for staff, students and community to provide input is by clicking here to complete a short survey, or access it on our website at sjredwings.org by clicking on the Superintendent Search Tab and then click on the Survey Tab.  The survey will be available February 22 and will close at 4:00 pm on March 16.  All input on the survey will be collected anonymously. The Board of Education thanks you in advance for the input.
