Crenshaw and Crenshaw, LLC

Crenshaw and Crenshaw, LLC is committed to guiding and supporting school boards through the most important function of the Board, selection of the individual that will lead the district to meet the goal of providing a quality education for the children and families of the district.

We will….

Develop, with board input, a timeline of the candidate selection process. A suggested timeline with several protocols of a successful superintendent search, community forums, engagement of community and staff, and school visits, will be presented to the Board.

Supply search candidate applications, flyers, advertisements, and all other materials and resources needed for the candidate search.

Assist the Board and community in identifying the characteristics the selected superintendent needs to be successful.

Recruit candidates for the position through board approved local, state, and national media venues. Crenshaw and Crenshaw has a wide network of school leaders, educational organizations, and university professionals to rely on to increase the pool of qualified candidates.

Review and assess the candidates based on identified characteristics needed to be successful. Once all candidates are reviewed by Crenshaw and Crenshaw, a group of candidates for board consideration will be presented for board input and approval. Board members will receive copies of all applications.

When the board is prepared to start the interview process, Crenshaw and Crenshaw will provide interview materials, information, suggested process, and a suggested list of interview questions. We will continue to work with the Board throughout the entire process of selecting the superintendent. The Board will select the final candidate. We will provide follow-up correspondence to candidates not selected and suggest other Board actions that will assure a smooth leadership transition.
