  • Be A Part of the Search for the Next Mill Valley School District's Superintendent

    Community Input

    At the request of the Mill Valley School District Board of Trustees, a number of meetings were scheduled for staff, administrators, labor leaders, PTA groups, students, parents, and community partners, to meet with consultants from Leadership Associates to provide input about the desired personal and professional qualities anticipated in the incoming superintendent. The input received was used in the development of the candidate profile, and will be used during the recruitment process, and reference checking. The consultants will also compile a summary of all comments received during these sessions and share the report with the Board and with the new superintendent.

    During these sessions, consultants shared an overview of the process, and asked two primary questions:

    • What are the desirable qualities, characteristics, background, and professional and personal experiences for the next superintendent?
    • What do you see as the strengths of the district and the major challenges facing the district in years ahead?

    Leadership Associates also provided an anonymous survey for your participation. 

  • The MVSD  Board of Trustees are in the Process of Conducting an Executive Search for the District's Next Superintendent.

    On February 9, 2023, the Board of Trustees selected the Superintendent Search Firm Leadership Associates to assist Mill Valley School District in our search for a new Superintendent.
