Edited to add: This post has been revised with an updated schedule. Please be advised that Monday Jan. 17, 2022 is a SFUSD holiday in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As such, we will not be scheduling staff input sessions for the Superintendent Search process on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022. 

Dear SFUSD Staff,

The SF Board of Education is currently conducting the community engagement phase of the superintendent search process, and would like to invite your input. Due to the recent surge in COVID, numerous activities and appointments have needed to be rescheduled. Therefore, the community engagement phase is extended until January 19, 2022.

If you would like to share your input regarding the superintendent search, you have three ways to do so:

1. Complete the survey. The link is on the District’s web site or can be accessed at: https://ecrasurvey.com/sfusd

2. Send an email to our lead search consultant, Hank Gmitro, at hankgmitro@hyasearch.com and answer any or all of the following three questions:

   1. What is working well in SFUSD that you want to see continue under this transition of leadership?

   2. What are the challenges/issues that the new superintendent needs to address?

   3. What are the leadership skills, personal characteristics, and/or background experiences that the new superintendent must possess to be successful in SFUSD?

3. Attend one of the Zoom meeting input sessions with one of the HYA consultants. Please review the following opportunities that are created for the specific staff audiences, (including meeting dates, times, and Zoom links) and select the option that works best for you:

Thank you for your time and sharing your input.
