Superintendent Search Survey Reminder
Earlier this week, the District sent a Messenger inviting all stakeholders to answer a questionnaire to collect your feedback. The BPS101 Board would like your input as they begin their search for a new Superintendent to lead our district. They will use the information gathered from focus groups and a questionnaire to help create a leadership profile of our next Superintendent. The questionnaire will remain open for all stakeholders through Wednesday, Oct. 5th. It is available in English or Spanish. The Board thanks you for your effort in helping them with this important task.
