Board leadership updated the public on the district’s active superintendent search and encouraged community participation in scheduled forums and the online survey.

The board president said the district is conducting a "live search" with 20 scheduled forums and live candidate forums; as of the meeting the online survey had recorded 301 responses. She explained the difference between the online anonymous survey and invited forum forms, which are not anonymous. Board members and audience members asked about how forum groups are chosen and where to find locations and times; staff said meeting locations and schedules are posted on the district website and social media.

The president said survey responses and forum feedback will be reviewed by the full board and used as part of the selection process. Board members signaled continued encouragement for community participation and clarified logistics such as forum locations (district office, BOCES, high‑school auditoriums, transportation garage and libraries) and dates (forums scheduled Nov. 11–14 in the presentation, online survey open through Nov. 14). Officials said forum forms are intended to collect identifiable feedback while the online survey remains anonymous.
