PDF Focus Groups Invitation from Superintendent Search Firm
Good afternoon Hudson CSD Staff, Families and Community Members,
The following message is being sent on behalf of the Hudson City School District. Please read closely.
As you may be aware, the Hudson City School District Board of Education has retained the services of Hazard, Young Attea & Associates (HYA), a consulting firm that specializes in assisting school boards and county governments in identifying and recruiting executive level educational leaders.
There are four phases to the HYA search process. Those phases are engagement, recruitment, selection, and transition. The engagement phase consists of designing and planning a process of engaging the community through interviews, and focus groups. Information from these interactions will assist the Board in developing a leadership profile and selection criterion that match the priorities of your community and that meet the unique needs of the students who are served through the Hudson City School District. This disciplined and inclusive approach will be designed to ensure stakeholders have an opportunity to be part of the search process and will provide valuable feedback about the school district that will assist the search firm in better understanding our district in the broader marketplace.
We invite you to be a part of this community engagement process by attending a focus group session on:
