Dear Member of the Ada Exempted Village School Community:
The Ada Board of Education has contracted with the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) to assist in our search for a new superintendent. The board hopes to complete the search in the spring and the new superintendent is expected to begin work in our district this summer.
In our effort to make the best possible selection, we have included in the search process a time for OSBA consultant Quinn Maceyko to meet with our staff and community to conduct several focus groups. The focus groups are intended to help augment the profile we have developed for Ada's next leader. Common themes will help us as we evaluate potential candidates. These conversations will take place on Wednesday, February 7 at 6pm
