Superintendent Search: Interview Panels Seek Applicants
The search for a new Eugene School District 4J superintendent has reached a major new stage: The district's search consultant is forming three confidential interview panels. You can apply online to participate on a panel and interview the finalists for the job.
4J families and staff interested in participating on one of the three interview panels must complete and submit the online form no later than Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 4 p.m. A lottery will determine which applicants are selected to serve on an interview panel, with notification occuring on Feb. 18.
The interviews are confidential; participants will agree to not share the names of the finalists. This pledge ensures that the district can attract the best candidates, including accomplished and sitting superintendents, who might otherwise choose not to apply so as to not risk their current, stable standing or future career prospects.
Please keep in mind the following requirements for participation before you apply:
-
Full-day availability on March 10, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
-
Commitment to not share the identities of the finalists or content of the interviews, even after a hire is made.
-
Ability to participate in virtual interviews from a quiet, distraction-free space with reliable internet (a space may be requested from the district if needed).
-
Completion of anti-bias interviewing training, which will be provided as an online video and must be watched prior to March 10; the 4J board is also taking this training.
We hope you’ll consider participating in this critical process for our next superintendent.
