1 Leadership Profile Report April 24, 2014 HYA Executive Search Division, ECRA Group, Inc

2 Introduction This report presents the findings of the Leadership Profile Assessment conducted by (HYA) in March and April, 2014 for the new superintendent of the Summit Public Schools. The data contained herein were obtained from input the HYA consultants received when they met with individuals and groups in either individual interviews or focus group settings and from the results of the online survey completed by stakeholders. The surveys, interviews, and focus group meetings were structured to gather input to assist the Board in determining the primary characteristics desired in the new superintendent. Additionally the stakeholder interviews and focus groups collected information regarding the strengths of the District and some of the challenges that it will be facing in the coming years. Participation The numbers of participants, by stakeholder group, in the two methods of data gathering are listed below: Group Personal interviews Online Survey or focus groups Board 7 Administrators Teachers Support Staff 2 17 Parents 218 Community/Parents *54 Community 19 **Total = *Three representatives of the City Government and three members of the Summit Education Foundation participated in personal interviews. The remaining attendees attended open public forums. **The total count is partially duplicated due to opportunities to participate in both methods and/or to attend more than one event. The responses provided by the individuals and focus groups during the interviews are listed in two places 1) Consistent Themes, which beginning on page four of the report and 2) Comments from individual and group meetings, which begin on page nine. They are listed alphabetically with no attempt to prioritize them. Finally, Desired Characteristics, decided by the Board of Education after careful review and consideration of all input, can be found on page 13. 1

3 It should be emphasized that the data are not a scientific sampling, nor should they necessarily be viewed as representing the majority opinion of the respective groups to which they are attributed. Items are included if, in the consultants judgment, they warranted the Board s attention. Strengths of the District The City of Summit is an actively involved community with abundant and varied resources to support its residents and public schools. Summit residents value the city s economic and cultural diversity. The City is noted for its high level of community support including exceptional levels of volunteerism and giving. The Summit Public Schools are among the best in New Jersey. Summit schools are known for their high academic achievement, success in athletics and the arts, and their numerous programs and services for students with diverse talents and needs. The faculty is accomplished and dedicated to serving all students. Parents are actively involved and seek ways to assist and engage with the schools in support of students. Challenges/Concerns/Issues Facing the District Economic challenges are not unique to Summit. The next superintendent will be constrained by the economy and by state imposed limits on spending. A large portion of Summit s property tax is dedicated to the public schools, and residents want to be assured that their tax investments are yielding good returns. One challenge will be to engender agreement on system goals and indicators of success. Frequently expressed indicators were increased academic achievement for students at all levels, admission rates to prestigious schools and the school district s standing among competitor school districts. With financial constraints, often come competing priorities. The new superintendent will be forced to make decisions knowing that some will not be well-received by part or even all of the community. Satisfying the desire for active community engagement has the potential to compromise the quality of decisions that impact student growth and learning if not very carefully done. Additionally, the appointed School Board and City Government have a long history of positive working relations. Many participants expressed concerns that this relationship may be deteriorating to the detriment of the schools. Rebuilding trust is a concern that must be addressed. 2

4 Desired Characteristics Responses to the on-line survey, focus groups and interviews indicate interest in employing a superintendent with a clear vision for a superior 21 st Century education and the skills to lead the district in pursuit of this vision. The need to hire or inspire, develop, and lead a superior staff is fundamental to this accomplishment. Engaging the community and managing the organization effectively and efficiently are also of prime importance. HYA cannot promise to find a candidate who possesses all of the characteristics desired by respondents. However, HYA intends to seek and the Board intends to select a superintendent who optimally meets the District s needs. The consultants would like to thank the participants who attended focus groups and completed the online survey. Also, we would like to thank those who assisted with our meetings. We offer a special thank-you to President Gloria M. Ron-Fornes for her leadership in this endeavor and Business Administrator Louis Pepe and Administrative Assistant Jeannine Dotten for their efforts in facilitating our time in the District. Respectfully submitted, Judith A. Ferguson, Ed.D Russ Schumacher, Esq. Senior Associates 3

6 Online Superintendent Profile Survey Results The Superintendent Profile survey was completed by 346 stakeholders. Almost two-thirds of respondents were parents with children in the district (63 percent). Twenty percent were teachers. Another seven percent were administrators, and the rest were community members and support staff. Stakeholder Group Frequency Percent Administrator Community Member without children in the district Parent Student Support Staff Teacher Total The top-rated characteristics that respondents selected are: Listen to and effectively represent the interests and concerns of students, staff, parents, and community members.

7 Percentages of respondents overall who selected each item, as well as percentages by stakeholder group, are given in the tables on the following pages. Differences were examined for statistical and practical significance to determine whether the mean scores by stakeholder group differed. Results indicate that, for many items, the various stakeholders were in agreement. On the other hand, there were several items that certain stakeholders valued more than others. Teachers were significantly more likely than Parents and Community Members to select the Communication and Collaboration item Foster a positive professional climate of mutual trust and respect among faculty, staff, and administrators. Community Members were significantly more likely than Support Staff and Teachers to select the Vision and Values item Promote high expectations for all students and personnel.
