Beyond the Hire: Building a Strong Board-Superintendent Partnership

Good governance is about strong board-superintendent relations! Today’s podcast is about the board of education and its relationship with the new superintendent. We so clearly invest in hiring a superintendent; hours go into the interview process, searching for the right candidate, preparing for the interview, doing the interviews.  And then making the decision to choose the right candidate. There is a well-deserved sigh of relief when that occurs, but the job of transitioning to a new superintendent is not over.  For the board and others, it has really just begun.  

 

Here with us today is Dr. Darcy Woodcock, to tell us a bit about her recipe for success as she has transitioned now in two districts, and what that transition for success looks like.

Host
Darci D’Ercole, Chief Governance and  Leadership Development Officer, NYSSBA

Guest
Dr. Darcy Woodcock, Superintendent for Jamesville DeWitt Central School District
