NPSD Superintendent Search

NPSD Seal NPSD SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH PROCESS

With the retirement of current NPSD Superintendent Dr. Curtis Dietrich, the North Penn Board of School Directors has initiated a search for a successor Superintendent of North Penn Schools.  To assist and counsel the Board through this process, NPSD has retained the services of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA), a consulting firm that specializes in assisting school boards in identifying and recruiting executive-level educational leaders.

There are four phases to the HYA search process.  Those phases are engagement, recruitment, selection, and transition.  The engagement phase consists of designing and planning a process of engaging the Board and stakeholders through interviews, online surveys, and focus groups. Information from these interactions will assist the North Penn School Board in developing a leadership profile and selection criterion that match the priorities of our community and that meet the unique needs of the students who are served through the North Penn School District. This disciplined, inclusive, and research-based approach will be designed to ensure all stakeholders have an opportunity to be part of the search process and will provide valuable feedback about the school district that will assist the search firm in better understanding our district in the broader marketplace.
