Redmond, Wash. – During a special board meeting on Thursday, April 19, Lake Washington School District’s (LWSD’s) Board of Directors selected Ray and Associates, a national education search firm, to conduct a broad search and thorough selection process to name LWSD’s next superintendent.
Ray and Associates is experienced in identifying and recruiting leaders for high-performing school districts like LWSD. The same process and search firm will be used for considering internal and external applicants.
“The Board looks forward to beginning the selection process, with the support of Ray and Associates,” said LWSD Board President Siri Bliesner. “We recognize the importance of selecting the next superintendent, and we want our students, parents, staff and communities to provide input throughout the process.”
The Board will work with Ray and Associates to develop a search timeline and provide opportunities for community involvement and input via forums and an online survey. Community members can expect to see an online survey in the coming weeks about characteristics they would like to see in their next superintendent.
You may also comment in person at the Board Monday, 7 pm business meetings to give your input. E-mail Shannon Parthemer at communications@lwsd.org or sparthemer@lwsd.org for details.
On April 10, 2018, LWSD’s current superintendent, Dr. Traci Pierce, announced that she will step into the role of Director, College & Career Readiness, effective July 1, 2018.
