Dear Jahn School Community,
We want to keep you informed and engaged as we move forward in the important process of selecting the next principal of Jahn School of Fine Arts. This document lists all the subcommittees and members.
Progress in the Principal Selection Process
On Tuesday, July 29th the Local School Council (LSC) voted to approve candidates for first round interviews. The first round interviews were completed last week and the committee evaluated and finalized second round candidates. On August 6th the LSC voted and approved the recommended second round candidates. Second round interviews will take place on Monday and Tuesday.
The LSC will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, August 13th from 4:30- 6:30pm at Jahn to evaluate final candidates in collaboration with the Principal Selection Committee. The LSC will then vote and approve final candidates. Further information for the meeting location, Zoom link, and agenda can all be found here.
Upcoming Community Forum: Thursday August 14th
As we move forward in the search for our next principal, we’re excited to share that a Community Forum will be held at the school with the final candidates on Thursday, August 14th from 3:30-5:30pm. There will also be a virtual option for those who cannot attend in person, linked here. Spanish interpretation will be provided and the meeting will be recorded and microphones and sound will be used to ensure the audience can hear the candidates. This will be an opportunity for students, families, staff, and community members to hear directly from the candidates and learn more about their vision for our school. If you have not submitted your question for the Community Forum you can do so here. The deadline for submission of questions is Wednesday, August 13th by 5pm.
We are committed to a thoughtful and inclusive process that prioritizes the needs and values of our Jahn school community. We will continue to share updates as the selection process progresses.
If you know of any new Jahn families that are not yet receiving these updates, please forward this email to them and have them sign up for emails at this link.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in shaping the future of Jahn.
Sincerely,
The Jahn Local School Council and Principal Selection Committee
