Superintendent Selection Process

Gary Rider, Superintendent of Thornapple Kellogg Schools, has recently announced his plans to retire at the end of the school year.  With that in mind, the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education is beginning a search for a new superintendent of schools.    As part of the search process, they are interested in input from staff, parents and the community regarding ideas and viewpoints about characteristics and competencies relevant to the position. 

 

We encourage you to attend an open community forum conducted by North Star Staffing, Inc. representatives on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 7:00 p.m., in Middle School room 1616. 

 

This meeting will explain the process of the search, give timelines and ask for input from the community about what they would like to see in our next superintendent.

 

We hope that you will be able to attend, and look forward to any input you may have.  If you have any questions, please call Erica Dudik at the Thornapple Kellogg Administration Office at 269-795-5521.
