Superintendent Search Community Gatherings: Shape the Future of D65

As District 65 begins the search for our next Superintendent, the School Board and Alma Advisory Group invite families, staff, students, and community members to come together and share what matters most to you.

The Board is seeking a generational leader who can build on what is strong in D65, advance academic excellence and outcomes for every student, and provide the financial management, organizational leadership, stability, and consensus-building needed for a strong and sustainable future.

We want to hear from you. What do you value most about District 65? What are your hopes for our next chapter? Where can the District improve? What qualities does our next superintendent need to be successful in their next role?

Join us for one of three community gatherings across District 65. Your perspectives will help inform the leadership profile and priorities that guide the search.
