Superintendent Search

The Board of Education has hired a search firm, School Leadership, LLC, to facilitate the search process for a new Superintendent of Schools. The process provides for stakeholder input. The first part is to collect vital data and insight from the community by completing a brief survey. This survey closed on Friday, January 9, 2026. 

The second part of the process is to identify the personal and professional qualities and experiences that the Miller Place School District community would like the new Superintendent of Schools to possess. The Board of Education invited the community to attend a focus group meeting that was held on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 7:00 pm in the Miller Place High School Auditorium.  At this meeting, the community had an opportunity to meet one or more of the search consultants from School Leadership, LLC. The consultants will describe the process and estimated timetable for conducting the search. 

The remainder of the meeting was devoted to hearing participant responses to three prompts: 

1. From your perspective, what would attract a highly-qualified candidate to seek the position of Superintendent in our school district?
2. What do you see as some of the major leadership challenges that the new Superintendent will face over the next three to five years?
3. What types of prior experiences and personal and professional qualities would you hope the new Superintendent will have?

Information from this meeting, and from other meetings with members of the Miller Place School District Community, will be combined into a set of search specifications. These specifications will then guide the Board of Education as it undertakes the search for the new Superintendent.
