School Board Selects Superintendent Search Firm

Carroll School Board members conducted interviews of three different superintendent search firms Monday, settling eventually on an Illinois firm that has conducted hundreds of national searches for education leaders. Trustees voted 5-0 with one abstention to begin contract negotiations with Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates from Glenview, Illinois. The firm has handled superintendent searches in several Texas districts, including Highland Park, Dallas and most recently, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. The process, presented similarly by all three firms, involves extensive staff and community input to develop a candidate's profile, in addition to advertising, recruitment activities and eventually Board interviews. Dr. Bill Attea told Trustees he expects the process to take about 90 days, but stressed the importance of finding the right applicant that fits Carroll ISD even if it means naming an interim superintendent until the right candidate is found. Dr. Attea said his firm will narrow the field of applicants and present them to the Board for consideration. He suggested 3-5 applicants for Board interviews, but the final decision will come from the Board. The CISD Board will meet Tuesday, April 16th to consider a contract agreement with the firm. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the school administration building, 1201 N. Carroll Avenue. The other two firms interviewed by the Board were Office of Field Services, Dr. Hoyt Watson and Dr. Bob Griggs; and Ray & Berndtson, Linus Wright.
