The search for the next Superintendent of the Thomaston-Upson County School
System is underway.
On Tuesday, December 12, 2017, the Board held its first
planning session with a representative of King-Cooper and Associates, a Georgia
firm that will assist the Board with the search.
The Board approved a tentative timeline for the search that includes a deadline
of February 2, 2018, as the last date to accept applications. King-Cooper and
Associates will be mailing vacancy announcements about the search next week.
The search announcement will also be posted on various internet sites.
The
Board is developing a survey to receive input from employees and community
members related to the qualities desired in the next superintendent. It is the
Board’s desire to conduct a thorough search process that involves the
community and employees while maintaining the necessary confidentiality of
applicants until finalists are selected.
In the coming weeks, the Board will also be developing a leadership profile that
includes the skills and competencies desired of the next Superintendent. The
profile will be important as the Board determines the best candidates to
consider and interview for the position. Interviews are expected to begin in late
February and continue through March.
The need to conduct a search for a new Superintendent was created when Dr.
Maggie Shook announced her upcoming retirement at the end of the current
school year. It is anticipated the search will take four to five months. Potential
candidates may find additional information on the Thomaston-Upson Schools
website at www.upson.k12.ga.us.
