Join the Superintendent Search: Take an Online Survey and Attend an Open Forum
 The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees is seeking community input as it selects a new superintendent. You can help by completing an online survey and/or attending an open forum. The short survey asks for your thoughts on the most important characteristics for a new superintendent. You can select characteristics from a list, and you can note additional characteristics that are important to you. Ray and Associates, an executive search firm that is helping the School Board in its superintendent search, developed the survey. The survey is anonymous. Survey results and comments will be made available to the public. The survey is part of a larger community engagement process that will include open forums on Monday, February 3 and Tuesday, February 4. Look for more information soon. To complete the survey, please click on one of the following links: English Survey Spanish SurveyBookmark this link for the Superintendent Search.
