Due to the retirement of the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Daniel Giordano, the Lindenhurst Board of Education has begun its search for the next Superintendent, voting at the September 2021 meeting to enlist the aid of Western Suffolk BOCES in the search process.
Community and staff members are asked to provide their input through an online survey which will remain opened until October 30, 2021. Areas such as rating the importance of a potential candidate’s qualifications and personal characteristics, as well as his/her abilities and experience with school staffing, instruction, board relations, district operations and finance will be polled.
CLICK HERE to access the survey. Additionally, a copy of the survey is available to be picked up at the McKenna Administration Building.
Representatives from a variety of district stakeholder groups will also have an opportunity to meet with the search facilitators in October 2021 to provide additional input.
Recruitment efforts will be extensive, with interested candidates submitting application information through November 30, 2021. Interviews are expected to begin in January 2022 and continue through several rounds which will conclude no later than April 2022.
The Board of Education will thoughtfully consider the Community Survey results and Stakeholder input when making their selection.
A final decision will be made by the Board of Education and announced no later than the May 2022 Board meeting.
