COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & INPUT

Community input will play a key role in identifying the traits needed in a leader that will best serve PPS students, educators, and the community. Through conversation with stakeholders about the strengths and challenges that the District faces, a leadership profile will be created that the next Superintendent must have to lead the District. In addition to small group meetings and public forums, there will be online surveys that allow input from interested community members.
