Opinions Wanted On Sonora High’s Next Superintendent Selection

Sonora, CA – Sonora Union High School is looking to the public for input on what qualities a superintendent candidate should possess to be chosen for the post.

The District Board of Trustees has initiated a search for the next superintendent. Today it sent out an invite to students, teachers, staff, parents and community leaders asking for their feedback. As reported here, current superintendent Pat Chabot announced his retirement earlier this month after serving in different capacities at the school for 25 years. The board wants stakeholders to meet with a consultant and give their opinions to aid in determining the desired qualities of the next superintendent.

Those unable to attend the forum can still have their voices heard by filling out an online Stakeholder Input Survey before to June 8th. Click here for the survey form.
