City School District of Albany Superintendent Search

The City School District of Albany Board of Education's search for the district's next superintendent is underway.

 

Capital Region BOCES is assisting the board, at no cost to the district, in finding an experienced, visionary leader to guide the district into the future. Working in partnership with the community to identify the best candidates, the board will conduct a national search through the late winter and early spring, and anticipates an appointment during the summer.

 

We invite you to join us in making this critical decision for our school district and our community. Scroll down for complete information, updates and timelines regarding the search.

 

Community input

The Board of Education is inviting all community members to participate in the search through six public forums that were held in late January and early February and a survey designed to help the board understand what the community is looking for in its next school leader. All Albany parents, residents, staff and students are invited to participate to tell us what is most important to you about the district and our next superintendent.

 

The survey will available online through the end of February and also is available at all Albany Public Library locations and at each district school. All responses will remain anonymous and the board will use that data to guide its search.

  

What's next?

Once feedback is collected through the public forums and survey responses, the board will make all responses publicly available in this section of this site. The board will use the data to guide its search, which will include national advertising that will be conducted in March and April. Three rounds of interviews with the top candidates are planned in May and June, including an opportunity for teams of community and staff representatives to meet with the semifinalists selected by the board.

 

The search team will provide a report on the public forums and community feedback at the Thursday, March 1 board meeting at Albany High School, 700 Washington Ave. The meeting begins at 7 p.m.
