Superintendent Pathways Program

This service allows TOSS members to confidentially explore superintendent positions. TOSS coordinates with organizations that conduct superintendent searches, both in-state and nationally. Members would not have to wait until there is a specific opening to begin the process.

How does the Superintendent Pathways Program work?

• Interested TOSS member would notify the TOSS Executive Director or Assistant Executive Director (SLI) of their interest and would note any qualifiers, e.g. geographical region, district size, type, instate or out of state, etc.

• TOSS point person would conference with the member to further explore his/her goals and qualifications.

• TOSS would maintain a confidential database of those interested along with their qualifications, experience, and goals.

• TOSS would work directly with superintendent search groups such as TSBA, TN Education and Management Services, NSBA, McPherson and Jacobson, Ray and Associates, neighboring state school board associations, etc.

What is the advantage to you?
