The Nodaway Valley and CAM School District Boards of Education, Tuesday night, agreed to hire Grundmeyer Leader Search, to support the search for a new, shared superintendent. School officials say the search will begin immediately, and conclude with the hire of a new, successful leader.

To that end, the Boards are requesting feedback from the public, with regard to what “desired qualifications” are most important for the position, to ensure the person selected is a good fit for the school districts and their respective communities.

Patrons of both districts are invited to take an online stakeholder survey accessed by a computer or mobile device, at: https://tinyurl.com/NVCAMSuptSurvey. The survey is completely anonymous, unless you provide your name voluntarily.

The Stakeholder survey is available until May 19th. The search team will produce a general report based on the information gathered in the survey. The report will be shared with the board to advise them on what priorities the district and community stakeholders are looking for in a new leader.

The hiring timeline is as follows:

• April 19-May 12 Application period
• May 30 Board reviews candidate pool (closed session)
• May 28 Board screens candidates.
• June 6  Formal interviews with finalists.
