Board of Education

A message from Mr. Troy Polis, President, Poland Board of Education: After careful consideration, The Board of Education has decided to reissue the posting for the Superintendent position as an internal opportunity within the District. Reissuing the posting internally is intended to make clear that the Board welcomes and will give full and fair consideration to qualified internal applicants who may be interested in serving in the role. Selecting a Superintendent is one of this Board's most important responsibilities. As part of that responsibility, the Board is ensuring it is gathering the information necessary to make a thoughtful and well-informed decision in the best interest of the District and our community. The Board also appreciates the feedback shared by community members in the stakeholder survey and public forum. The Board continues to take that input into account as the process moves forward. This step is intended to support a careful and deliberate process. The Board remains committed to selecting the candidate who is best positioned to lead the District forward and continue supporting student success.

A message from Mr. Troy Polis, President, Poland Board of Education: The Poland Local School District Board of Education has begun the process of selecting our next Superintendent, and your input is essential. We are committed to conducting a thoughtful and transparent search that reflects the values, priorities, and aspirations of our students, families, staff, and community. This survey provides an opportunity for you to share your perspectives on the qualities, experience, and leadership characteristics that are most important in our next Superintendent.
