SCREENING COMMITTEE. In the new
few weeks, the School Committee intends to appoint a Superintendent Screening
Committee to assist in the search process. While the School Committee
has the sole authority to appoint the Superintendent, it wishes to have the
benefit of input from a Screening Committee made up of various members of the
community and schools. The Screening Committee will review applications,
interview candidates, and recommend several candidates to the School Committee
for further consideration.
The Oxford
School Committee seeks two (2) parents
to serve on the Screening Committee. Interested individuals should be available
to attend several evening meetings, including all the candidate interview
sessions, and should understand that much of the business of the Screening
Committee will require a high degree of confidentiality. Interested parties must be available
the following evenings:
Thursday, March 4;
Tuesday, March 9; and
Dates to be determined between March 11 - March 22
Individuals
interested in participating on the Superintendent Screening Subcommittee
should email the Executive Assistant at hcoffin@oxps.org by Monday, February 1st.
The email should include your full name, telephone number, and confirmation
that you are available during the above-listed dates. The names of all interested individuals will
then be passed along to the School Committee for consideration, with
appointments to be made at the regular School Committee meeting on February 8th.
