Superintendent Search Services for School Boards

At ASBA, our mission is to deliver tailored search solutions that perfectly match your district’s needs. We don’t just provide a search consultant; we offer a dedicated team of professionals, including award-winning communicators, administrative support, and insights from former board members and superintendents. Experience a customized search designed specifically for your unique district challenges. 

How It Works

Pre-Search Services

  • We’ll meet with your governing board to facilitate discussion around the needs and goals of the board and school district. We do this to ensure that you are “search ready” and have a collective vision as you embark on the search.

During the Search Services We

  • Establish a customized timeline that meets your board’s specific needs.
  • Assist in defining the qualifications and criteria required for the position.
  • Gather input from staff, students, and the community through various methods determined by the board.
  • Help develop a clear selection of customized interview questions and scoring rubrics.
  • Manage the entire candidate process seamlessly with our customized position announcements, tailored application platforms specifically for superintendent searches, and efficient inquiry responses from candidates. 
  • Assist in coordinating interviews, tours, and forums.

Post Search Services

  • Facilitate a post search professional development with the governance team to create conditions for lasting team success.
  • We offer comprehensive coaching services for new superintendents as an optional add-on. This ensures that your new superintendent has a dedicated mentor to guide them through their initial days as superintendent. 

Communication and Public Relations Support 

  • Our communications team assists in creating search materials for the selection process and prepares superintendent announcements once your choice has been made. 
  • We also offer templates for media releases, community introductions, and social media graphics, allowing you to effectively introduce the new superintendent to the community.
