Superintendent Search Input Survey (CLOSED)

AVAILABLE MARCH 11 - 21, 2024

The Cabrillo Unified School District Board of Education is asking for your help in selecting our next superintendent. To ensure this is a collaborative and inclusive process, the Board is providing this online survey and encourages your participation. We have requested that consultants from Leadership Associates, who are assisting the Board with the search, conduct an online survey to solicit input from students, staff, parents, and the community.

The following survey asks you to respond to several critical questions. The information generated from this anonymous survey will be used to develop a profile that indicates the desired qualities and characteristics of the next superintendent. It will also guide the recruitment and reference-checking process as well as the development of questions for the interview. The survey also seeks your perspectives on District strengths, challenges, and our community. Consultants will compile a report summarizing survey results and share it with the Board.
