The PHC is happy to report that the job ads that were posted across the country over the past month were successful in attracting nearly a dozen, highly qualified applicants for our Principal opening. The deadline for applications was Monday of last week and the PHC met last Wednesday to discuss the pool of applicants. Based on the application materials, which included resumes, educational philosophy statements, transcripts, and letters of recommendation, the Committee narrowed the pool to four candidates who will interview with the Committee, in-person on Wednesday, January 25th. Following those interviews, the PHC will select the candidates who will move to focus groups with our community. Due to the confidential nature of the hiring process, details and identities of our applicant pool will not be shared with the community until the final candidates are selected for the focus group phase. Focus groups, which are tentatively planned for Monday, Jan 30th, are the community’s opportunity to interact with and ask questions of the final candidates. Three separate focus groups will be formed, one each for teachers/staff, students, and parents. The admin team is coordinating the student focus groups. If you are a parent/guardian of a student and you would like to attend the focus group with the candidate finalists, please complete this survey so we can coordinate with you. Once the PHC has gathered and analyzed community feedback from the focus groups, we will hopefully have a clear picture of who we will hire. If there isn’t a consensus, we may hold additional interviews. When the PHC has decided, the PHC will vote and then the Steering Committee will vote to approve. We will then present our selection to the District for final administrative paperwork and other items related to the Jeffco hiring process. The Steering Committee will continue to communicate through Jag Tracks as we proceed through the process. If you have immediate questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Steering Committee via email at [email protected]. Comments are closed.
