FLORENCE, SC – The search for a new superintendent to lead the Florence One School District has begun, and the Florence One School Board seeks input from employees and the community to assist with the process.
Community and staff engagement activities are planned for Feb. 20-22 and will allow employees and citizens in the Florence One community an opportunity to share feedback on the characteristics and skill set desired in the next superintendent. A team from BWP & Associates, the national search firm selected by the Florence One School Board to assist with the search process, will seek suggestions, answer questions, and explain the search process during scheduled meetings and forums.
On Tuesday, Feb. 20, a public forum for the Florence One community will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. in Poynor Auditorium located in the district at 301 S. Dargan St. This Forum is open to anyone in the public who would like to attend.
An employee forum, open to all district employees, will also be held at Poynor on Wednesday, Feb. 21 from 4 to 5 p.m. In addition, small group meetings will be conducted by search team consultants Feb. 20, 21, and 22 with established staff, parent, student, and community groups.
In addition to community engagement meetings and forums, a community survey will be launched Feb. 20 on the district website (www.fsd1.org) and be open through March 6. Results of the survey will offer additional input collected during the search process.
