The School Committee is looking for members of the community to serve on the Superintendent Search Screening Committee. Its role will be the preliminary screening of applicants for the position of Superintendent of Schools. The Screening Committee’s responsibilities will include reviewing applications, conducting screening interviews and recommending candidates to the School Committee for further consideration. NESDEC, the search firm working with the School Committee, will conduct an orientation with the Screening Committee concerning these responsibilities.
In addition to an interest in the Wayland schools, a member of this Screening Committee must commit to:
- Maintaining confidentiality about the candidates throughout and after the process has been completed; and
- Making themselves available for a total of 20-30 hours of time from approximately Feb. 7, 2017 – March 7, 2017, including
- up to 10 hours of time to review application materials
- 15-20 additional hours of meeting time to participate in screening interviews as well as the decision-making process as to which candidates to recommend to the School Committee for further consideration. Screening interviews most likely will take place during the evening hours, and possibly on a weekend, in mid to late February/early March.
In selecting members of the Screening Committee, the School Committee will strive to achieve a cross section of the community. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Screening Committee is invited to send a completed application to Ellen Grieco, Chair of the School Committee, Wayland Public Schools, Town Building, 41 Cochituate Road, P.O. Box 408, Wayland, MA 01778 by Friday, January 13. Please contact Diane Marobella at (508) 358-3763 for an application or go online here to download an application.
As always, please feel free to contact any member of the School Committee with questions. Thank you for your support.
