Superintendent Search

Dear TMS families,

This week I am writing to extend a special invitation to you to participate in the search for our next Superintendent. Here is the information provided by the search committee. 

The Tuckahoe Union Free School District Board of Education is beginning its search for the next Superintendent of Schools and has appointed Dr. Harold A. Coles, District Superintendent of Southern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to conduct our nationwide search for qualified candidates. The profile for the superintendent position will be developed collaboratively with involvement by community, faculty and school group representatives.

With the advice of Dr. Coles, the Board of Education has developed a timeline and outlined steps to ensure a hiring process that allows for significant community feedback and that brings the most highly-qualified pool of candidates to interview in Tuckahoe. One of the first steps is to develop a Superintendent Profile. The Board is seeking community views concerning the qualities that are most important in a new superintendent. Interested members of the Tuckahoe community and school community can complete and submit an online survey, which will be available through December 11, 2019, by accessing the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CNP7KKC

In addition, school district community stakeholders (administrators, faculty, staff, PTA & students) and community forum meetings will be held with Dr. Coles. A public forum for all interested community members will be held at 6 pm on December 13, 2019, in the Tuckahoe Middle School/High School Auditorium. The Board is requesting that all community members take the time to provide their thoughts and contribute to the development of criteria for best-fit candidates. This will assist the Board and Dr. Coles in identifying top candidates for the District.

Along with the opportunities for community input, the Board will provide regular updates on the progress of the selection process at Board meetings, as well as on the school district website. 

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important work.

My Best,

Gregory Stiefel, TMS Principal
