DCPS Community Vision Session 1

The Dorchester County Public Schools  Board of Education, as part of our process to select the next Superintendent of Schools, will hold a series of Community Vision Sessions to engage and discuss the current and future needs for the District.
The Superintendent Search process is designed to engage all district stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, staff, students, and community resident, in developing a shared vision for our future leader. The goal is to select a Superintenend who embodies the values of the community and is dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration, student achievement, and creating the conditions for success for every individual connected with our school system. The dates and locations of those meetings are:
#1: North Dorchester High School Cafeteria, 4/9/2024, 6-7:30 p.m.
#2: CSDHS, 4/17/2024, 6-7:30 p.m.
#3: South Dorchester K-8, 4/23/2024, 6-7:30 p.m.
As previously announced, DCPS has partnered with HYA Associates to help coordinate its search. HYA will assist the board of Education by facilitating the process of recruiting, vetting and recommending qualified candidates for comprehensive and inclusive search.

Community Survey
In addition to the community forums, community members currently have the opportunity to participate in the process via a Community Survey to provide an additional opportunity for insights, ideas, and aspirations critical to a successful search. The survey will be accessible from March 27 – April 9, 2024. The survey can be accessed here: https://hyasurvey.com/dorchester. It has also been posted on the DCPS District Website at https://www.dcps.k12.md.us/.
​
The Board of Education invites the engagement and participation of all members of the community. For more information about the Superintendent search process, please visit the DCPS District Website or contact Chris Wheedleton at 202-805-3696 or wheedletonc@dcpsmd.org.
