What the community should be asking [the school board] is process questions:
- HOW are you going to go about doing a superintendent search?
- HOW are you going to involve the community?
- What is the vision of the board for this school district?
- What steps has the board taken to see if the board's vision for the school district is the same as the community and staff's vision for the school district?
- How will these visions be reconciled into a comprehensive vision that works for all players?
- What would the characteristics be of the right leader to make the vision happen?

Answer: Duh. They elected us.
These questions are from THE attorney for the state school board association in another state....I bet he/she would be willing to have you use her name off list....
