A New Superintendent

Some of you may be aware that Tim Justus, our current Superintendent, will be retiring after this year. Filling this vacany is actually one of the most important things we'll do as a Board. While the Board sets District policy, it is the Superintendent who executes against that vision. In a public company, it's the CEO who leads the team. Our Superintendent is much the same.

The District has retained Leadership Associates, a search firm that specializes in superintendent searches. We have worked with Leadership Associaates in other capacities, and their team also comes highly recommented by Palo Alto and Los Gatos.

This is the time to start thinking about what you want in a new superintendent. I'd welcome comments and feedback on what you consider important. Ideas and thoughts can either be posted here as comments, or sent via email to doug@smith4lasd.com
