TSBA assists its members by providing a systematic and proven process for finding and hiring a superintendent of schools. TSBA adapts this process to meet the specific needs of a school district depending on which services the Board chooses for us to perform. We will handle virtually all of the process if requested, or provide guidance and assistance on any portion.
TSBA does not participate in the actual selection of a new superintendent… that decision is always made by the board. However, TSBA is available to advise the board on the interview process, how to proceed with an offer and what are standard features of an employment contract.
