“TOGETHER WE CAN”
BOE SEEKS COMMUNITY INPUT FOR SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH
The Board of Education is seeking your input in the qualities and characteristics we should consider for our next superintendent of schools.
Residents are invited to participate in one of three upcoming Stakeholder Forums. The forums are designed to collect information that will assist in the identification of the qualities and characteristics that our community would like to see our next Superintendent of Schools possess and demonstrate.
The Stakeholders Forums will be facilitated by Questar III staff and will be conducted on the following dates, locations, and times:
July 15 Hudson Youth Center 6:30 p.m.
July 21 Hudson High School 6:30 p.m.
July 31 Claverack School 6:30 p.m.
We realize that some people may be unable to make these sessions and we would like to provide the same opportunity for community residents who are unable to attend to answer the same questions that will be presented in the public sessions. Residents can provide feedback by completing an online survey on this page.
