Superintendent Search Services

Hiring a superintendent is one of a school board's most critical responsibilities. OSSBA can help your board find the right leader to help lead and support your students, your schools, and your community.

Board members and the superintendent function as a district's governance team. The Oklahoma State School Boards Association Superintendent Search Service offers maximum flexibility to the board and assures the board has total control of the decision-making process.

OSSBA’s highly experienced search team performs the legwork associated with the search, allowing the board to concentrate on the most critical steps in the search – setting the criteria, interviewing the most qualified candidates and selecting the next superintendent.

What’s included:

  • Work with school board to establish a search timeline
  • Market and advertise position
  • Gather essential qualifications and characteristics desired of the district’s incoming superintendent through facilitated board conversation and online stakeholder survey
  • Post opening and manage application process
  • Manage applicants and search process
  • Provide interview guidelines
  • Provide board with reference check guidelines

Additional services:

  • Community forums
  • Additional marketing support, including press releases regarding the search and hire
  • Assistance with candidate travel scheduling
  • Additional background inquiry

Fees are based on the level of assistance that will be provided with regard to the search, and now includes online document management for all application materials. For more information, contact Dr. Stephanie Hyder at 888.528.3571 or stephanieh@ossba.org.

PLEASE NOTE – beginning August 2019, OSSBA is using a new application management system. Revelus was designed by state school board association search consultants who have decades of experience facilitating superintendent searches, understand the intricacies of the search process and the importance of an application management system to a smooth search process. We are confident that this system will be more user-friendly for applicants, board members, and OSSBA search consultants. Please download the directions to create a Revelus account. OSSBA will no longer utilize the Applitrack system in our search process.
