Bowie ISD schedules public input sessions for supt. search
As part of its search for a new superintendent, the Bowie Independent School District will conduct public and district employee meetings on March 6, along with an electronic questionnaire available online.
Board President Jacky Betts said the community input meetings will be from 4 to 5 p.m. on March 6 at the administration building for district employees.
Two additional meetings will be from 5 to 6 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m. on March 6 for the public to attend. All the meetings will be in the administration building.
If you are unable to attend the meetings a community involvement questionnaire is available online at: bowieisd.net/, click on https://surveys.tasb.org/s3/bowie-leadership-survey.
The leadership profile questionnaire is brief with only three questions.
- What do you consider to be the two or three most significant strengths of the district?
- What do you consider to be the two or three most important issues/concerns/challenges facing the district?
- What professional/personal characteristics should the board look for in the next superintendent?
While you are not required to leave a name, it does ask what group best represents you: Administrator, board member, community member, parent, faculty, support staff or student. One must be selected.
Last week the board approved a search timeline with the Texas Association of School Board’s executive search services. Earlier in February Superintendent Steven Monkres announced he would retired at the end of August.
The superintendent application deadline is March 19, with the application review on March 28 followed by initial interviews in early April and follow-ups in mid-April. The board hopes to name a finalist by May 3 with a vote to hire on May 30.
