The Lapeer Community Schools Board of Education is conducting a survey to help guide it in the selection of a new superintendent for the District. The online survey will be accessible from the District website from now through mid-January.
School Board members expect that the survey will result in input from throughout the community that will provide valuable guidance as they select a new superintendent. The survey will take less than ten minutes to complete. It is anonymous and confidential.
“On behalf of the Board, I’d like to stress the importance of this input from our staff and throughout our community,” said LCS Board President Bill Laidlaw. “The more input we get will help us make a better decision. It’s important that the entire community has a voice in this important decision about our schools.”
The survey asks respondents to identify, in general, their relationship to the District (for example as a parent, student, staffer or other community member).
It then asks respondents to select from a list the greatest strengths of the District, the most important challenges facing the District, the most important goals for the District in the next three to five years and the most important attributes required for the next Lapeer Community Schools superintendent.
Space is also provided for comments and any other items the Board should consider in its superintendent search.
The online survey is available on the District website (www.lapeerschools.org) by clicking on the “Superintendent Search Survey” button on the right side of the home page. If you do not have access to a computer, you can access one at any public library or contact Karen Rowden at the Board offices at 810-538-1604 to set up a time to use a District computer to complete the survey.
The School Board is seeking a new superintendent to replace current Superintendent Debbie Thompson, who is retiring in June at the end of 2010-11 school year. The veteran educator has served the District as its superintendent since August 2005.
