CINCINNATI (AP) - A major Ohio school district is seeking community input on the search for a new leader.
The Cincinnati Public Schools district plans three meetings Feb. 1-2 for people to express their views on important qualities for the successor to Superintendent Mary Ronan. She plans to step down Aug. 1 after nine years as chief administrator.
The school board says its search firm has developed an online survey for people in the district about superintendent qualities and questions they’d like the board to ask candidates. The board wants to complete candidate interviews in April.
When Ronan announced her plans, the board president praised her for academic progress and innovative strategies in the urban district. After years of declining enrollment, the district has grown 8 percent to 35,000 students in five years.
