Conway Springs Superintendent Search Community Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey as our district seeks your input on the desired characteristics and qualifications of our next Superintendent. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and will be collected by our search firm where they will be analyzed and shared with the Board of Education. We will use this information to build a profile of the qualities that we desire in our next leader and to inform and guide the search process.
