Superintendent Search

NASB is your one-stop-shop for superintendent searches. From helping your board become search ready, to launching a statewide or nationwide search, to assisting you with a smooth transition post-search – we’ve got you covered.

Finding the right superintendent to lead a school district is one of the most important - and difficult - tasks a school board must accomplish. NASB helps local school boards find the best possible match for their unique district. ​
​

The service NASB provides is distinguished from that of private consultants in two key ways:
​

• NASB works first and foremost for the board of education.
• NASB seeks the best possible match for the distinctive needs of the district - one candidate does not fit all.

In a typical superintendent search project, NASB will:

• identify and prioritize the board's needs and wishes for a new superintendent.
• engage staff and community members in a process to determine their desires for their next school district leader
• develop and distribute a promotional brochure about the position and district, and place state and national advertisements
• recruit potential candidates based on the profile identified by the board, staff and community
• provide a user-friendly online application system for all candidates

• work with the board to determine the best screening strategies to ensure a fair process to all candidates
• manage application files and correspondence with candidates with strict confidentiality
• work with the board to set up a complete interview process to guarantee a professional, thorough and legal interview procedure
• at the boards request, assist the district in working with the news media during the process
• at the board's request, NASB will conduct a first-year performance plan session with the superintendent and board after the superintendent is hired
