Superintendent Search Firm to be Approved Without Public Review
The board is set to approve a ‘Superintendent Search Firm’ without disclosing which firm(s) are being considered. The choice of search firm is a critical decision that determines the ideological leaning of superintendent candidates. Many national firms specialize in placing ‘equity’ and ‘social justice’ focused administrators, bypassing candidates who prioritize academic excellence. This vote could lock in an ideological agenda for the district for years to come, and it’s happening without transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND THE MEETING: This is a high-stakes vote. Go to the meeting on August 5th and use the public comment period for this item to demand the board name the firms under consideration and delay the vote. Ask them directly: ‘Will you commit to full transparency and allow parental review of the proposed search firms before making a decision?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hiring an ideologically-driven search firm ensures an ideologically-driven superintendent, leading to a top-down focus on DEI/SEL initiatives at the expense of core academics.
