BCISD launches online superintendent search survey
A survey seeking input into the search for a new Burnet school district superintendent went online Friday, Dec. 1. It will be up until 5 p.m. Dec. 22.
Officials will hold in-person feedback sessions the week of Dec. 4 (details to come).
The Burnet Consolidated Independent School District is replacing Superintendent Dr. Keith McBurnett, who is retiring at the end of the 2023-24 school year.
The survey consists of seven questions, which should take less than five minutes to answer, according to a media release about the survey. Answers are anonymous.
“Results will be used by the (BCISD Board of Trustees) as they build a final profile of the characteristics they are seeking for a future leader,” the release states.
The first two survey questions determine how the participant relates to the district: non-student household, parent/grandparent, employee.
The next five questions each ask the participant to pick their top three choices from a list. The questions focus on:
No. 3 — BCISD’s most significant strengths (community support, teachers, effective leadership, etc.)
No. 4 — The new superintendent’s most important attributes (expertise, communication skills, good decision-making, etc.)
No. 5 — The new superintendent’s most important qualities (community commitment, enthusiasm, integrity, etc.)
No. 6 — The new superintendent’s accomplishments (doctorate degree, past superintendent experience, campus administration experience, etc.)
No. 7 — The most important items on which a new superintendent should focus (parent relations, curriculum and instruction, enrollment growth, etc.)
