Full Message/Details

Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,

We hope you are well. We are writing today to update you on the search for the next Superintendent of Schools.

As we shared with you last week, the Hanover County School Board held a special meeting on Tuesday to discuss the nationwide search process for the next Superintendent of Schools with Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA), the third-party vendor that has been contracted to assist the Board throughout the selection process. The video recording from Tuesday’s meeting can be found on YouTube.

During the meeting, the Board received the results of the community engagement survey, the resulting desired characteristics, and the overall leadership report for the next Superintendent. All three of these documents are available on BoardDocs (Survey Results | Desired Characteristics | Leadership Report).

This information will assist the School Board in the next steps of the process. Interviews for the position remain scheduled to take place next month ahead of the Board’s anticipated vote on the new Superintendent of Schools in April 2025.

We will continue to share important information with you throughout this process. Our dedicated webpage on the search also serves as the hub of information regarding this process.

Thank you.
