The Santa Maria-Bonita School District (SMBSD) Board of Education is asking for community input as it prepares to select a new superintendent.
Current Superintendent Luke Ontiveros plans to retire at the end of December 2021.
The school board is asking the public to weigh in on the qualities and skills they're looking for in a new superintendent.
An online survey in both English and Spanish is open now through Friday, Dec. 3.
Questions include: What do you see as the strengths of the district? What is important for the next superintendent to know about our community? What leadership experiences are most important for the next superintendent to have?
Responses are anonymous.
The school board reportedly hopes to select a new superintendent by early spring.
