Today the Montgomery County Board of Education approved a resolution which starts the process of hiring a search firm to help with the superintendent selection process. The formal Request for Proposal (RFP) includes a timeline for action resulting in the selection of a new superintendent by May of 2011.

From the Board of Education press release:

“This RFP officially launches our search for a new leader for MCPS,” said Board of Education President Patricia B. O’Neill. “Conducting a national search to field the most qualified group of candidates to lead the district is our top priority.”

A search firm will assist the Montgomery County Board of Education with key pieces of the national search process including: articulating the qualifications for a superintendent, facilitating the process for community input and engagement, identifying and fielding a pool of highly-qualified candidates, coordinating the interview process, assisting the Board in narrowing down a field of candidates, and advising the Board on an appropriate compensation package.

Current Superintendent Jerry D. Weast will leave when his current contract expires on June 30, 2011, so the process should result in a very timely replacement.
