At its April 11 work session, the Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education selected the Austin-based JG Consulting firm to lead the search for the next district superintendent, LCPS said in a news release.
Separately, the board also named a committee of parents, students, administrators, staff and representatives from local business and government sectors to serve on a search advisory board.
The primary responsibility of JG Consulting will be to serve as the main point of contact to the board for all matters related to the superintendent search, following a plan approved by the board in March, the school district said. The firm will begin their work with the Superintendent Search Advisory Committee on two principal issues related to the search: the criteria desired in a new superintendent and to generate interview questions from the stakeholder perspective to be asked of the finalists in a facilitated public forum, the news release said. A virtual introductory meeting was scheduled with other meetings to follow.
Also at the April 11 work session, the board voted to expedite the search, shifting a few key dates that could place a new superintendent in LCPS before the start of the 2023-24 school year, LCPS said.
An updated timeline for the search includes the following key dates:
Tuesday, Aug. 15: Board to make final superintendent selection at its regular public meeting (date could change).
