The San Bernardino City Unified School District Board is seeking applicants for superintendent. Applications can be accessed via the district’s application link and will be accepted through November 30, 2022.
The new educational leader, one with the background, skills, and abilities essential for guiding the scholastic mission of California’s seventh-largest school district, is slated to be named by February 2023.
In October, the board hired McPherson & Jacobson, LLC, an executive search firm that specializes in education, to lead a nationwide search for the district’s next superintendent. As part of the new search, the board is seeking input from parents, employees, and the community on desired characteristics through a survey that will help shape the search process. The educational partner input survey is available now and closes Friday, November 18. The board of education will also hold several meetings to give various educational partners an opportunity to give input.
An educational partner input meeting for select participants will be held on Tuesday, November 8. A superintendent criteria board of education workshop will be held Tuesday, November 15 at 4 p.m. in the Dr. Margaret Hill Community Room at the Board of Education building, 777 North F Street in San Bernardino. The public can attend. A community forum for input is on Monday, November 14 from 6 to 7 p.m., also in the Dr. Margaret Hill Community Room. This forum will be in person and virtual and is open to the public. The virtual participation is limited to the first 500 people who register.
The plan is to interview semifinalists for the post at the end of January. It is anticipated that the process will be completed in January 2023.
