Dear Jahn School Community,
Jahn's Local School Council (LSC) would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kimbrough as he wrapped up his last day at Jahn last week. We are truly grateful for the many positive changes that Jahn has seen in the last three years under his leadership. Our enrollment has grown, and so have the opportunities available for our students.
Jahn is a special and resilient community, and we are looking forward to working closely with Assistant Principal Dr. Ferreras and Administrator-In-Charge Dr. Campos to lead us through this transition period. Our collective goal is to ensure our students and staff are well-prepared for a successful and great year ahead.
As Jahn’s Local School Council, it is our primary responsibility to identify and select the next principal for our school. We are committed to keeping you informed and engaged throughout this important process as we head into the new school year.
Here is a link to our timeline with key dates for the principal selection process. Our goals for this process are as follows:
- Prioritize community engagement and transparency: We believe that the active participation and input from our entire school community are crucial for making the best decision.
- Establish a principal selection committee that includes LSC and Non-LSC members: This committee will play a vital role in evaluating candidates and making recommendations.
- Target principal selection by August 6th: Our aim is to have a permanent Principal in place before the start of the new school year.
- Prioritize finding the right candidate, even if that means pushing back our target: While we are aiming for an August 6th selection, our ultimate priority is finding the best possible leader for Jahn, even if it means starting the school year with Dr. Campos still serving as Administrator in Charge (AIC) for a brief period.
Importantly, we will be conducting a Community Listening Session on Thursday, June 26th at 6:00 PM at the school and virtually via Zoom. The purpose of this session is twofold: to establish our principal selection committee and to gather valuable feedback from you on what qualities and characteristics we should be looking for in our new principal. We believe the right candidate will help us pursue the following goals, but we want to get feedback from the community before moving forward:
- Advocating for our school’s long-term success
- Fostering a strong instructional environment
- Building a positive and productive staff culture
- Establishing consistent communication & accountability
If you would like to be part of the principal selection committee, please let us know by completing this questionnaire.
If you are unable to attend our listening session but would still like to share your feedback on what we should be looking for in our next principal, please also use this questionnaire.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Jahn school community. We look forward to hearing from you on Thursday.
Sincerely,
The Jahn Local School Council
