Update on Process to Select new Executive Director

The process to select our new executive director at Emily Griffith Opportunity School is in progress. Instructional Superintendent Joe Sandoval is selecting and convening a Principal Selection Advisory Committee, comprised of staff from Opportunity School and DPS, as well as external school community representatives.

Next week, the Principal Selection Advisory Committee will participate in training and prepare for interviews. Tentatively, the interviews will occur after spring break. The committee will select two finalists, however, the DPS superintendent and chief academic officer will make the final selection. The goal is to seek approval of the selected candidate from the school board at the April 22 meeting.

Please consider these as tentative timelines. As you know, the hiring process could take a shorter or longer time depending on how the committee works. While we will try to keep you informed, we are not at liberty to share information about candidates, interviews or committee discussions.
