As mentioned in our previous communication, your input is very important to us and drives every step of the principal selection process.  We invite you to offer your individual, written input via email regarding the skills, experience, and leadership characteristics needed for Canterbury Woods Elementary School. You might also address any challenges or issues that a new principal will need to address. Please be assured that all input is confidential.   Below you will see suggestions for input and how you would submit it to the Department of Human Resources before May 31, 2022.

Additionally, the advisory panel will be comprised of three staff and three parent representatives from the Canterbury Woods community.  If you are interested in serving as a panelist, please submit your information by close of business on May 31, 2022, using the google document form.  Please review the meeting recording for additional details on the panel process and the commitment required of panelists.  The Region 5 Leadership Team will review all submissions and select staff and community members to serve as panelists or alternates for these interviews.  Individuals selected to serve in this capacity will be contacted by the Human Resources department overseeing this process.

I look forward to working closely with Canterbury Woods faculty, staff, parents, and community members during the principal selection process.

Sincerely,

Ms. Rebecca Baenig

Assistant Superintendent, Region 5
