Overview
On July 16, 2008 the Saginaw Board of Education announced
the selection of Dr. Thomas Barris to serve as Interim Superintendent
for Saginaw Public Schools following Superintendent Dr. Gerald Dawkins
letter of resignation effective August 8, 2008. On October 8, 2008
during a Board Action Meeting, Saginaw Board of Education members
voted to delay the Superintendent search and extend the contract
to then Interim Superintendent Dr. Thomas N. Barris, who graciously
accepted delaying his retirement, for one additional year to June
2010. As a result, the Saginaw Board of Education has begun the search
process for a new superintendent, retaining the Michigan Association
of School Boards (MASB) to assist with the recruitment, identification
and selection of a superintendent for Saginaw Public Schools. MASB's
major responsibility is to local boards of education. Their primary
goal is to develop an individualized process that will produce
the best match for our district's needs. Saginaw Board of Education is confident that the process will
enable the selection of a candidate who best meets the leadership
needs of the district and will continue Saginaw Publics Schools
tradition of excellence. Dr. Micheal Emlaw and Dr. Walter Burt will represent MASB as consultants
assisting Saginaw Public Schools in the search process. Complete
Electronic Posting Criteria For Selection
As part of the selection process, a leadership profile will be developed to
identify the key qualities, skills, beliefs and abilities to be demonstrated
by the new superintendent. Dr. Emlaw and Dr. Burt will conduct a series of
community input forums for parents, faculty, students, and community members.
A schedule of these meetings has been developed and is posted in the events
