• Superintendent Search: Be a part of the process

Superintendent Search Focus Groups

  • The District’s search firm, HYA, conducted focus groups to provide the Board with insight from stakeholders regarding the strengths of the District, the challenges that need to be addressed, and the desired leadership attributes for the next RCSD superintendent. Together, the survey, focus group information, and District data provide valuable information for the development of the Leadership Profile for recruitment and Board selection. In October 2024, focus group opportunities were available both in-person and virtually for RCSD stakeholders.

Virtual Opportunities

  • Virtual focus groups were conducted by HYA via Zoom teleconferencing. No prior registration for a focus group was required.
