Earlier this year, Superintendent Steve Bass announced that he would retire at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. On July 27, 2020, the Board of Education selected Ray & Associates to assist with the search for our next Superintendent. In a meeting on August 24, 2020, the Board developed the search process and approved a search timeline. One of the first steps in this process is the development of an initial profile of desired qualities and qualifications in a new Superintendent.

To ensure that all perspectives are considered, the Board is utilizing a survey to request feedback from students, parents, staff, and community members. The survey is offered in multiple languages to assist with securing maximum participation. A high survey participation rate will better ensure that multiple perspectives and data are utilized to develop a robust profile for the selection of the next Urbandale CSD Superintendent.

Please take a few moments to complete the survey (one survey per person). The survey will close at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2020.

(Note: Question #1 asks you to select the ‘group’ that you represent. We know many individuals represent multiple groups, but for the purposes of this survey, please select only one group as the perspective you’ll be using to answer the questions. For example, you may be a teacher in the district and a parent of students in the district, please select either teacher or parent and use that perspective when completing the survey.)
