Dorchester County Public Schools to Host Community Visioning Meetings

Cambridge, Maryland – April 2, 2024 – The Dorchester County Public Schools Board of Education is pleased  to announce that as part of our process to select the next Superintendent of Schools, we will hold a series of  Community Visioning 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 residents, in developing a shared vision for our future leader. The  goal is to select a Superintendent 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:

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.
