Superintendent Search Survey Now Closed
The Board of Education welcomes your input as we begin our search for a new Superintendent for Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205. We will use the information gathered in focus groups, open forums, and an online survey to create a profile of our next leader.
The survey was open to all staff, parents, middle/high school students, and community members.
-
All responses are anonymous and confidential.
-
Each person should respond only once, though each member of a family may respond.
-
The survey is designed to allow one response per device.
-
The survey will be available from February 3-19.
The schedule below represents multiple opportunities for faculty/staff, parents, students, and community members to meet with the School Exec Connect consultants to provide input for the Board. Sessions will take place between February 8-19.
-
Focus groups for faculty/staff and parents are organized by school, but you may attend another session if it is more convenient. We ask, however, that you attend a session designated for your group – staff, parents, administrators, students, community members. Please attend only one focus group.
-
Focus groups will be conducted via Zoom; links will be available through your principal or through the District website.
-
All discussions will be moderated by Dr. Linda Yonke and/or Dr. Tim Shimp, consultants from School Exec Connect. Responses are confidential and anonymous.
Results from the survey, focus groups, and community forums will be compiled into a report that will be presented to the Board on February 24 along with a New Superintendent Profile.
Please feel free to contact the School Exec Connect consultants with additional questions:
