Hartford Union High School New Superintendent Survey

Hartford Union High School District Superintendent Search Survey

The Hartford Union High School Board welcomes your input as we begin our search for a new superintendent. We will use the information we gather from several focus groups and this survey to define and prioritize the most important qualities for the profile of our next school district leader.

All responses are anonymous and confidential. The survey results will be reported on the District website after November 20.

We request that each person respond only once to this survey. The survey is designed to allow only one response per device. The survey will be available from now until Friday, November 9th.

Thank you for your effort in helping our Board of Education with this important task.

Sincerely,
HUHS School Board
