Superintendent Search: Please share your thoughts
To help us find Lakewood's next superintendent, please complete the survey below. The Lakewood School District Board of Directors will use the survey data as part of its selection process. Staff, students, families and our community are invited to take the survey — available in both English and Spanish — to help identify the qualities and leadership profile that should be considered with the selection of our new superintendent. The survey will close on March 24.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Respectfully,
Michele Ricci, Principal
