As most people in the community are aware, Madison has begun the process of searching for a new superintendent of schools. To that end, the Madison Public School District has engaged the services of the New England School Development Council (NESDEC) to assist.
Dr. Elizabeth Osga, a search consultant with NESDEC, will assist the Board of Education throughout the search process. As part of the process, NESDEC will conduct a series of focus groups.
Focus groups are an important part of the process because they are designed to obtain the input of teachers, support staff, administrators, parents, and community members about the attributes, experience, and knowledge they believe the new superintendent should possess. The focus groups also provide an opportunity for participants to identify challenges upon which the new superintendent should concentrate.
Each focus group session will last approximately 1- to 1 ½ hours.
The scheduled focus group for parents and community members is Wednesday, June 10 at 7 p.m.
The parent and community member focus group will take place on Zoom. Please use the following link to join the meeting: https://zoom.us/j/94888044457
The Madison Public School District and NESDEC hope that residents will be able to participate. Those unable to join in the online focus group can still provide input through an online survey via the Madison Public Schools website from June 8 through June 19.
