Dear Hinton school family,
As many of you know, Mrs. Marcy Derryberry recently announced she plans to retire at the end of the school year. In light of her announcement, our board has approved a partnership with the Oklahoma State School Boards Association to help facilitate the search for our next district leader.
Selecting the right superintendent for our schools and community is one of the most important roles we hold as locally elected school board members. With a team of experienced professionals supporting our efforts, we are confident we can find a superintendent who will continue Hinton’s mission of challenging students academically and promoting their personal development.
As we begin the search for our next superintendent, it is our top priority to hear from you! We would like to learn about the characteristics, qualities and experiences you value in a superintendent, ensuring that we select an education professional who reflects our district’s goals, mission and ideals.
Parents, students, staff and community members are invited to participate in a brief, online survey beginning Tuesday, Jan. 6. Located on the district’s website – hintonschools.org – the survey will be available until Jan. 17.
OSSBA works with other school board associations throughout the country to ensure a competitive candidate pool. The non-profit organization has partnered with Oklahoma school districts of all sizes to perform superintendent searches, including Beaver, Alva and Gore. OSSBA assists districts with advertising openings, recruiting potential candidates, furnishing an online application management system, and providing guidance and support throughout the search process.
Please know that throughout every step of the search process, we will be thinking about what is best for our students, our staff and our community. We hope you will take time to participate in the survey and focus group, and as always, thank you for your support of the Hinton Comets!
Sincerely,
Members of the Hinton Board of Education
