Former 220 Superintendent Dr. Tom Leonard moved to Austin, Texas in 2014 to escape some Barrington parents and students. He is now superintendent of Eanes Independent School District. It remains to be seen where Dr. Harris will be hanging his ever escalating pension hat.
“At its Oct. 6 meeting, the Board shared a couple of upcoming opportunities for community members to provide input on the district’s superintendent search. The Board is working with search firm School Exec Connect to select the district’s next leader. Dr. Brian Harris will be retiring at the end of June after serving more than 30 years in public education.
- Online Questionnaire: First, the Board is asking community members to fill out an online questionnaire. It should only take about five minutes to complete and it will be available until Oct. 30, 2020. Click here to complete the online questionnaire
- Virtual Community Forum: In addition to the questionnaire, if you would like to provide input on the district’s strengths, the district’s challenges, and the characteristics the next superintendent should possess, the Board of Education and School Exec Connect consultants invite you to attend a virtual open forum on Monday, Nov. 2 at 7pm. Please click here to register for the forum.
Please note, Barrington 220 staff members will receive a separate email where you can sign up for a virtual staff forum. Findings from the questionnaire, the virtual forum, and several focus group conversations will be used to develop a New Superintendent Profile that will be reported to the Board at its November 17 regularly scheduled meeting.
If you have any questions regarding the search, please contact consultant Dr. Kevin O’Mara at: kevin.omara@schoolexecconnect.com.”
