The Talbot County Board of Education has entered into a contract with the Maryland Association of Boards of Education (MABE) for the purpose of conducting a search for our next Superintendent of Schools, as Dr. Kelly L. Griffith is retiring on June 30, 2022.
The first step in the search process is to conduct a Stakeholder Input Survey that has been developed for staff, students, families and the general public. The survey is now available and will remain open until 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 08, 2022. The survey can be accessed directly using this link: https://bit.ly/TCPSinput, on the TCPS Facebook page, and on the TCPS website home page at www.talbotschools.org.
The purpose of the survey is to receive input about the strengths of the county as a whole, the characteristics the public believes a superintendent should possess, and what challenges a new superintendent may face.
Once the survey information is reviewed, the Board will work with MABE to develop advertising, candidate characteristics and interview questions, and a timeline for application review and subsequent interviews. The Board of Education intends to make a final decision that is announced to the public by their May meeting.
Any questions regarding the survey or search process should be directed to William Middleton, search consultant at MABE ([email protected]), or Susan Delean-Botkin, Board President, Talbot County Board of Education ([email protected]).
