Fort Worth school district wants you to help decide the next superintendent. Here’s how
Fort Worth residents will have an opportunity to share their thoughts on the school district’s superintendent search through a series of town hall meetings starting Monday.
The events will be held at district high schools for two weeks. Virtual and Spanish meetings will be available, according to a district press release.
The district is also asking people to take a survey to indicate what characteristics they value in the next superintendent. Parents, employees, students, faith leaders, civic groups and community leaders are encouraged to share their opinions.
The survey will be open starting Monday until May 27.
“We want the participation of every person who supports and cares about our students and who have partnered with us to improve academic outcomes for all,” board President Tobi Jackson said. “This is an opportunity to make your voice heard – and we are eager to listen.”
Superintendent Kent Scribner is set to resign Aug. 31 after nearly a decade as the district’s leader.
