Henry County Board of Education Chair Sophe Pope provides another update to the community on the search for a new Superintendent for Henry County School District during the April Study Session of the Board. A full transcript of her remarks can be found below the video. 

We will now move on in our agenda to Item C.1., which is actually a Board Member Item, and I will provide a Superintendent Search Update for all of you.

We launched in partnership with Georgia School Boards Association, around here referred to as GSBA, our search for our next Superintendent of Henry County School District on April 1. That can be found on our website under our "Superintendent Search" tab, where you can see all of our updates.

Following spring break, last week, we also launched a community survey, and this is so important and we need your help. We would love for everyone of you to go to our district website or your own school's webpage and at the top in the banner you will see a link to a community input survey. Your input is so valuable in this process, and we are so grateful for a community who is engaged and interested and so excited with us about the future of Henry County School District. So I invite you to go and take part in that survey. Be sure to send it to all your friends, your colleagues, all of our community members. It is just so valuable that you participate in that.

This search will be live -- the application will be live -- until May 12, when that window will close. We are committed, as always, to being transparent and updating you along the way, and I am hopeful and looking forward to this process as we move forward.

The Henry County Board of Education is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Superintendent of Schools. Applications will be accepted through May 12, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Information, including a link to the online application, is available on the Georgia School Boards Association website. Additionally, an informational flyer was created by GSBA to announce the Superintendent Search.

As a vital part of this process, the Henry County Board of Education deeply values community involvement and is seeking input from community members regarding their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the next Superintendent of Henry County School District. A nine-question online survey is available at bit.ly/HCSSuptSurvey to gather this important input.
