Superintendent Search
Vashon Island School District Superintendent Search
The Vashon Island School District Board of Directors is searching for the next superintendent for Vashon Island School District (VISD).
This page will be used to share the Board’s process for selecting the next superintendent, including information for candidates, engagement opportunities for all stakeholders in the VISD community, and updates on the selection process.
The VISD Board of Directors retained the executive search firm Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) to conduct a national search for the next superintendent.
This page will be updated as the process continues. Information about opportunities to have your voice heard during the process coming soon.
Input Survey
As part of outreach to connect with students, staff, parents, and community members, HYA is inviting everyone to provide input through an online stakeholder survey, which includes the same prompts HYA uses during listening sessions and forums.
Stakeholder input will be used by the VISD Board of Directors to consider the desired characteristics of the next superintendent as they make screening and selection decisions.
This survey is hosted and managed by HYA, which ensures that individual responses are kept anonymous and confidential. No email or IP addresses are collected and you are not asked to share your name.
