HISD Superintendent Search Process

Posted in Events, GHDC Blog at 10:53 pm by M Beauregard

Dear Friends,

Please join me on May 5th at 6:30 pm at Reagan High School (413 E. 13th Street) in the Heights for a town hall meeting the purpose of which is to garner the community’s opinion on a profile for the next HISD Superintendent. As the HISD District 1 Trustee, I will be co-hosting this town hall meeting with the search firm hired by HISD to conduct our Superintendent search, Heidrick & Struggles. Each of us has a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing public education and our next Superintendent and I hope you’ll take the time to share your perspective with our search firm. (Additionally, I will be holding a Forum on May 6th at 8:00 a.m. at Jeff Davis High School for HISD District 1 PTO and PTA Presidents, so please determine which venue would be most appropriate and join me!) You are, no doubt, aware of the important role the HISD Superintendent plays in our community, so I hope you’ll help the HISD Board of Trustees and Heidrick & Struggles in moving down the right path in our search. We need your input and I welcome you to join the town hall meeting and share your views.

If you’re unable to make the meeting on the 5th, there are several other meetings going on around town which you can attend:
COMMUNITY FORUMS • May 4: 6:30 p.m., Revere Middle School, 10502 Briar Forest • May 5: 6:30 p.m., Reagan High School, 413 E. 13th • May 7: 6:30 p.m., Deady Middle School, 2500 Broadway • May 9: 2 p.m., Ryan Middle School, 2610 Elgin

See you soon!
Natasha Kamrani
HISD Trustee, District 1
