The Washington Township BOE will convene in executive session during its meeting on Saturday, September 7, to examine each of the candidates' qualifications and to determine which candidates will be selected for first-round interviews.   The Board's Search Consultant will be conducting preliminary interviews with each applicant before presenting the candidates to the Board for review.   Using the information gained from the online input surveys and input sessions, the Washington Township Board of Education will make all decisions on which candidates to invite for all three rounds of interviews, which will take place during the fall.  

Any questions about the process may be directed to our Consultant:  https://www.khelewaconsulting.com/contact

Thank you for your interest and continued support throughout the search for Washington Township's new educational leader.

Online surveys have closed.   Thanks to all who participated!   

Survey and input session outcomes will assist the Board of Education in vetting optimal Superintendent candidates, and in formulating interview questions to be used throughout the interview process.  The survey results will not be shared with the public during the duration of the search.  By this method, we will ensure an authentic assessment of each candidate's strengths, and potential fit for our District.

We appreciate your ongoing support during our Superintendent Search. Stay tuned to this page for ongoing updates in the process.
