Online survey offered in four languages; survey, public listening sessions will help Screening Committee narrow down applicant pool.

A new, online community survey as part of the Somerville Public Schools’ Superintendent Search process is now live on the district’s website. The survey is available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. A survey in Haitian Creole will also be available soon. To access the surveys, residents can visit www.somerville.k12.ma.us/superintendent-search.

The Somerville School Committee, with the help of consultants from the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC), is leading the search process for Somerville’s new Superintendent. The online survey will be used along with feedback provided through a month-long series of public listening sessions to understand the community’s values and hopes for a new Superintendent of Schools. All members of the Somerville Public Schools community, including students, families, staff, and administrators, are invited to take the survey. The survey will remain open through December 23, 2022.

Community members may also participate in the ongoing series of listening sessions throughout December. A full list of listening sessions is available at www.somerville.k12.ma.us/superintendent-search.

A new Superintendent is tentatively slated to begin their term in July 2023, pending the outcome of the search process.
