 Floyd County School Board Announces Superintendent Search

(March 15, 2023) - The Floyd County School Board announced today that it will begin the process of hiring a new superintendent by seeking public input on qualifications.

The school board has created a survey related to superintendent criteria, which is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/floydcountysearch and on the school division's website at www.floyd.k12.va.us. Hard copies of the survey will also be available at the School Board Administrative Office. The survey will be available beginning today until March 25, 2023.  Hard copy surveys may be submitted to the Floyd County School Board Administrative Office at 140 Harris Hart Rd. NE, Floyd, VA 24091.

In addition to the survey, the board will hold a public hearing:

          Date:            March 27, 2023

          Time:            6:00 p.m.

          Location:       Floyd County School Board Administrative Office

"The appointment of a new superintendent is one of the most important responsibilities entrusted to a school board, and it is our priority to ensure that the public has an active role in this selection process," stated James Ingram, the Chairperson of the School Board. "We urge parents, staff, and residents to participate by completing the survey or attending the public hearing."

The school board selected the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) to assist the board with the superintendent search.
