Here is the latest in our search for a new principal. The district posted job ads across well-respected, higher education websites in December and January, and they successfully attracted nearly a dozen, experienced applicants for our Principal opening. The PHC met mid-month to discuss the pool of applicants and based on the application materials, resumes, educational philosophy statements, transcripts, and letters of recommendation, the Committee narrowed the pool to four, highly qualified candidates. The four candidates interviewed with the Committee, on Wednesday. Following those interviews, the PHC overwhelmingly selected one candidate to move forward in the process and had hoped to hold focus groups with the community today. As you may know, the job market is hot right now for job seekers (there are more openings than qualified candidates), and our chosen candidate has decided to pursue another job offer outside our district. While we are disappointed, we are all on Team D'Evelyn and there is no quit in us. How many times have we seen our Jags struggle, work their tails off and come out stronger on the other side? That is part of the D'Evelyn Difference - I am inspired by our student's hard work and grit and our talented staff who help them on their journey. We will keep working to find our next leader and we will not compromise until we have found the right fit for D'Evelyn. We will provide updates when we have next steps, but in the meantime, we are reposting the position on the Jeffco schools site and elsewhere, and we encourage you to refer any qualified applicants to apply online or email their interest to [email protected].
