Dear Burlington School District Parents, Staff, and Community Members:
As you may know, the Board of Education has begun searching for our next superintendent of schools. The Board has engaged McPherson & Jacobson, a national school superintendent search firm, and former Colorado Superintendent Dr. Walt Cooper, to assist in finding the most qualified candidates available. As part of this important work, the Board has asked the firm to gather information and comments from stakeholders, so we would very much appreciate it if you would take just a few minutes to answer a few questions through an anonymous online survey. You can access the superintendent search survey by clicking this link. The survey will remain open through February 10, 2026.
Estimados padres, personal y miembros de la comunidad del Distrito Escolar de Burlington:
Como quizás sepan, la Junta de Educación ha comenzado la búsqueda de nuestro próximo superintendente de escuelas. La Junta ha contratado a McPherson & Jacobson, una firma nacional especializada en la búsqueda de superintendentes escolares, y al ex superintendente de Colorado, Dr. Walt Cooper, para ayudar en la tarea de encontrar a los candidatos más calificados disponibles. Como parte de este importante trabajo, la Junta ha pedido a la firma que reúna información y comentarios de las partes interesadas, por lo que le agradeceríamos mucho que tomara unos minutos para responder algunas preguntas a través de una encuesta en línea anónima. Puede acceder a la encuesta de búsqueda del superintendente haciendo clic en este enlace. La encuesta permanecerá abierta hasta el 10 de febrero de 2026.
