F-F District to Hold 3 Forums For Input On Superintendent Search

As part of a broad-based community engagement process to collect input from stakeholders on the selection of the Ddstrict’s next superintendent, the Ferguson-Florissant School District will hold community forums at each of the district’s three high schools.

The community input sessions will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 30 in the McCluer High School Hub; on Wed., Oct. 1 in the McCluer North High School cafeteria; and on Thursday, Oct. 2 in the McCluer South-Berkeley High School auditorium.

In addition to the three 90-minute-long open forums, the Board of Education is engaging 13 other focus groups over the course of three full days. These groups represent a broad cross-section of the community including parents, teachers, principals, support staff, faith-based leaders, neighborhood and community leaders, government and civic leaders and business leaders.

“We are pleased to host these opportunities for all residents of the district to provide feedback on the characteristics they would like to see in our next superintendent,” said Mrs. Leslie Hogshead, superintendent search committee chair and board of education vice president.

“Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of the development of the position profile for a superintendent search,” said Michael Hinojosa, senior vice president and lead consultant of PROACT Search, the firm hired by the Ferguson-Florissant Board of Education to conduct the process. “It provides a valuable opportunity for community feedback to be incorporated directly into the superintendent profile and is used to drive the recruiting and evaluation of candidates.”
