4. All other legally mandated materials.

5. Other materials or records that would be helpful in evaluating candidacy.

Application Screening –

The Director of Human Resources will be responsible for screening applications in coordination

with the Superintendent and/or other applicable supervising administrator using the following

screening criteria:

1. Certification requirements for position (if any).

2. Grade point minimum average of 3.0 at undergraduate and graduate levels.

3. Reference requirements

4. Other criteria as may be determined.

5. Relevant experience

Hiring of Senior Administration –

1. All positions will be posted through normal hiring procedures including the website, district

notification and normal media outlets.

2. When the position is closed, the cabinet, including not less than the Director of Human

Resources, the Superintendent, the Assistant Superintendent and the relevant Directors will

perform a “paper” screening to get to the top five to nine candidates.

a. Relevant Directors for instructional positions will include (Assistant Principals,

Principals and Supervisors) the Director of Teaching and Learning, the Director

of Special Education and possibly the Director of Technology (at the

Superintendent’s request).

b. Relevant Directors for operational purposes (senior operations management: ACT

93) may include the Business Manager, the Director of Technology and the

Director of Operations.

c. The Board of School Directors may participate in this and all stages of hiring at

the request of the Board President. If a Board member is to participate, it should

be in all stages of the process through appointment. Inability to participate in a

given stage or throughout the entirety of a given stage should result in the Board

member stepping down from the process until the Board member rejoins the full

Board in the final stages of the search.

3. When the top five to top nine candidates have been identified on “paper”, from a previously

determined rubric outlining what the District is hoping to have in a successful candidate, those

advancing candidates will be invited to a first round of interviews for screening purposes.

304-AR-1. RECRUITMENT, APPLICATION AND SELECTION OF ADMINISTRATORS -

Pg. 3

Page 3 of 4

The first round live interview will consist of a 20-30 minute “screening interview” to

determine whether the candidate:

a. Demonstrates core skills, knowledge and competencies expected for the position.

b. Possesses the requisite experiences in this position or a related position.

c. Conveys appropriate verbal communication skills.

d. Demonstrates effective written communication skills through a writing prompt.

4. From this pool of five to nine candidates, the pool will be reduced to three to five candidates

who will be invited back for an in-depth interview. The in-depth interview will be to

determine the following:

a. Is the candidate consistent in response?

b. In more position-specific questions, does the candidate appear to have the

knowledge and skills required?

c. Does the candidate have the ability to convey depth in responses, citing specific

examples and experiences?

d. Is the candidate truly a good fit for the District?

5. The committee will reconvene and identify the top two or three candidates that will advance

to site-based interviews. Site-based committees will winnow further from top two or three

candidates and help establish a ranking of candidates.

a. Committees would be organized depending on the position. For principal or

assistant principal positions, the committee would consist of teachers and support

staff/aides, volunteers, parents, students and additional administrators along with

a small committee of the Superintendent and or the Assistant Superintendent.

These committees would ideally interview the candidates on site.

b. For supervisors or cabinet level positions, the committee would consist of district

office support staff, a representative for the teachers and additional administrative

staff, along with the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent.

6. After the site-based interview, references will be checked. Candidates will be informed as

they leave that references will be checked. Candidates will sign a waiver permitting the

District to check both identified and to-be-named references, if appropriate. A complete

check of the candidate’s financials will be undertaken, if necessary.

7. When top candidates have been identified, site visits, if appropriate, will be scheduled for the

Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent to visit the candidates’ work locations for

further information gathering. Information to be gathered will include direct observation of

interactions with peers, subordinates and superiors, as appropriate.

Page 4 of 4

8. When the top two or three candidates have been selected through the Superintendent’s

selection process, he/she will then notify the Board President that top candidates have been

selected. At this point, neither the Board nor the Board President will be informed who the

top candidate is. The Board will, in executive session, interview the top candidates for the

position having had the opportunity to review the applicants’ packets prior to Executive

Session. At the conclusion of the interviews, the Board President will ask the Superintendent

for a recommendation for filling the position. The Superintendent will inform the Board who

the preferred candidate is, and the Board will then have the opportunity to decide whether to

accept the Superintendent’s recommendation. If the Board does not accept the

Superintendent’s recommendation, the Board will ask the Superintendent if he/she can accept

their chosen candidate or whether the Superintendent recommends re-opening the search.

9. Depending on the timing of the Board interview, the Board will then either permit an

addendum to the personnel agenda and appoint the candidate that evening, or, if the

Superintendent recommends, wait until the next Action meeting and appoint the preferred

applicant at that time.

10. Rationale: the hiring of senior administrators is among the most important work in which a

district can engage. The Superintendent needs the opportunity to build a team and to recruit

the most qualified candidates for these positions and therefore efforts and confidentiality

through the process, until the final stages, is to be encouraged and supported. However many

eyes on the process can add insight and support for new hires and are particularly important

in the latter parts of the hiring process. Board involvement, as representatives elected by the

community, adds gravitas and insight as well as different perspectives from the professional

staff engaged in the search. Board involvement is particularly encouraged for positions of

high visibility within the District as they can often provide support to new hires within the

community.

Administrators Salary Placement –

The following guidelines shall be utilized in placing newly hired administrators in the salary

matrix:

1. Identify appropriate salary range for the position from the Administrators Compensation

Program.

2. Use the Act 93 Agreement to develop the starting salary offer.

3. Inquire as to candidates’ current and desired salary.

4. If existing administrators share the pay range in question, consider lowest salary and length

of service of those administrators.

5. If the recommended salary for a candidate of choice is above the Fourth Quartile Range, the

Superintendent, in conjunction with the Board President, will poll Board members. If there is

not a majority agreement with the salary, the Superintendent may request that the Board meet

in executive session to discuss the candidate and the recommended salary.
