Board in Early Stages of Schools Chief Search

Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education
Member, Ann Marie Mead (Raritan
Borough Representative), at the July 23,
2013 meeting.  She played a major part in
managing the effort for the Superinten-
dent's survey process.

 
According to a release by Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education President Patrick Breslin on Thursday, the search for a new Superintendent of Schools to replace Dr. Michael Schilder is now underway.

The process begins with information sessions commencing in September.  Check out this link for the detailed schedule.  There are five sessions in all, but they are not all merely for school administrators and staff.
Two of them are moderated discussion events specifically geared to hear from the general public. The date for those is September 23rd.  Both will run for an hour-and-a-half.  The first runs from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Wade Building.  The second is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the High School.

There is one more thing, and it’s easy to do:  Simply sit down at your PC and let the Board of Education members of this school district know what you think.  This opportunity presents itself in the form of a brief, seven question survey.  It is anonymous, and offers you an excellent chance to tell the Board of Education what’s on your mind.
Remember:  The survey is not in the form of a check-the- box or multiple choice quiz.  There are only seven straightforward questions.  Moreover, you have the opportunity to type into the response boxes whatever you wish, especially question six on the survey which is more general in nature.

Go ahead, give it a shot.  Fill out the survey and show up at the public input sessions.  After all, these are your schools, your tax bills, and your cash that is funding them.
