Reminder to the ACSD Community: The ACSD Board is offering two final in-person forums for parents, caregivers, and community members to share their priorities for our Superintendent Search Process:
– Monday, February 27, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. at Mary Hogan School
– Monday, February 27, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Shoreham Elementary School
The forums will be moderated by McPherson & Jacobson, LLC, and will ask 4 primary questions:
1. What makes our community a good place to live?
2. What makes this a good school district for students and staff?
3. What are the issues that a new superintendent needs to know about when he or she comes into the District?
4. What skills, qualities, and characteristics will the new superintendent need in order to be successful?
Please consider attending one of the above forums to share your input. As a reminder, here is a brief overview of the search process:
