Superintendent Search Process

Superintendent Search Process

Feedback from all patrons is encouraged. Fairbury Schools will be sending out a SurveyMonkey link on Monday, December 8th, along with posting it on social media, the district’s website, and district email communication. The survey allows any user to provide their anonymous input on the skills and traits the next superintendent needs to possess as well as highlight the positives of the Fairbury School’s community and the school district.

Questions that will be asked through the survey will be:
1) Tell us the good things about the Fairbury School community.
2) Tell us the good things about the Fairbury School District.
3) What are the skills, characteristics, and traits you’re looking for in the next superintendent?
4) What are the hot topics the new superintendent should be aware of so they can get off to a great start?
