Superintendent Search Committee

 

The Regional and Union 26 School Committees (“the joint committees”) are embarking on a search process for a permanent superintendent. A key part of the process is a 20-member Search Committee which will be composed of parents/guardians, community members, ARPS employees and bargaining unit members, ARHS students, and School Committee members. The Search Committee will review all applicants to the position, select candidates to interview, conduct interviews of those candidates, and decide on a number of finalists to recommend to the joint committees. The joint committees have the ultimate decision-making authority for the superintendent position.

The Search Committee will be made up of a diverse group of people from all backgrounds, walks of life, and identities, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, socio-economic background and more!

If you are interested in being considered for the Search Committee, please fill out the interest form. Form submissions are due by 4:00 pm on January 15, 2024. They may submitted online or by returning a paper copy to any of the school offices.

You can access the online forms, and other information about the search process, on the Superintendent Search page of the ARPS website. Paper forms are also available at the main offices of Crocker Farm, Fort River, Wildwood, Pelham Elementary School, Amherst Regional Middle School, and Amherst Regional High School, as well as the District central office in the Middle School Building.
