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.
SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SURVEY
The Board of Education of Pittsburgh Public Schools invites you to complete a survey to assist with our current Superintendent search.
This survey will be open through midnight May 18, 2022.
The Superintendent Search Survey is CLOSED
COMMUNITY FORUMS
Community meetings are being held in five geographic areas of the City of Pittsburgh to ensure maximum participation in the process. Light refreshments will be served prior to the start of the meetings. To encourage participation, limited transportation will be offered from key locations within City neighborhoods by request. In addition, onsite childcare will be available to those requesting it by registering in advance. Though not required, participants are encouraged to wear face masks.
Community Forum Registration is CLOSED.
Note: Due to lack of need, there will be no childcare or transportation.
The Pittsburgh Board of Public Education voted to hire BWP & Associates as the professional consulting firm responsible for conducting the search process to identify candidates to fill the post of permanent Superintendent of Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS). The Illinois-based firm has conducted more than 800 successful executive searches and was selected from a pool of five companies responding to the Request for Proposals (RFP). The Board evaluated the proposals, basing their decision on responsiveness to criteria laid out in the RFP.
