BOE Directors say they will search locally to find both the interim and the permanent superintendent with an eye toward candidates who are prepared to continue the current work and strategic direction of the District. In addition to possessing experience in improving enrollment and equity and expertise in special education, candidates are expected to be dedicated to the community schools model and understand Oakland and the Bay Area.
