Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Search Update

The Broward County School Board is committed to ensuring a fully transparent process in the search for a new Superintendent of Schools.

During a Special School Board Meeting on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, School Board members reviewed the list of qualified applicants provided by Ray and Associates, the independent firm hired to conduct the search. The top four finalists were identified based on the overall selections by School Board members. Ray and Associates read aloud the totals for each candidate during the meeting; however, after the meeting, a concern was raised that the individual selections by each School Board member had not been shared.

On Wednesday morning, January 26, the tally sheet with individual School Board member selections was provided to those requesting the information. Additionally, this information was placed on the District’s website for the public to view.

To ensure the integrity of the superintendent search process, the School Board will hold the meeting again on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 10 a.m., at the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center, 600 S.E. Third Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301. The meeting will be live streamed at browardschools.com/meetingagendas.
