Superintendent Search
Update from the DPS Board of Education
This message is being shared with you on behalf of the Dalton Public Schools Board of Education:
DPS Community,
Our Board met today for the first time to develop a plan and define the process for identifying our next Superintendent. We know the importance of this hire and the significance it holds for our school system and community. We are committed to keeping you informed along the way, and we welcome your questions as we move forward.
The Board intends to name the next Superintendent in an expeditious and yet intentional manner. Our hope is to finish this process by May. As we begin our search, we will—at least initially—focus our attention internally within Dalton Public Schools. This decision reflects our desire to maintain continuity with the direction spelled out in our Strategic Plan as well as our belief in the potential of the leadership within DPS.
We also know we have work to do and progress to make to be the best school system possible for our students, for our staff, and for our community. Therefore, we are eager to identify a leader who understands not only where we are but has a clear and compelling vision for where we need to go and a strategy to get us there. Additionally, this leader must have the ability to mobilize our district by developing a positive culture and climate, building effective and impactful teams, communicating effectively, and thinking strategically and innovatively.
In conclusion, we thank you for what you do every day!
Let’s continue to finish this year strong, enjoy Spring Break along the way, celebrate our graduating seniors, and believe that the best is yet to come for DPS as we work together on behalf of our students and for their very best future!
Dalton Public Schools Board of Education
