The search for a new superintendent for Springfield Public Schools is underway, and district officials want to know what you would like to see in a new leader. 

SPS is hosting a series of community input sessions this week, and there are in-person and virtual options.

Representatives from GR Recruiting, the search firm hired to lead the search, will facilitate the meetings.

They will be held Thursday, November 17, at 2, 4 and 7 p.m. in Conference Rooms A & B at the Kraft Administrative Center, 1359 E.  St. Louis. A virtual meeting will be held via Zoom at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.  Meetings will also be held Friday, November 18, at 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. via Zoom and at 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m. and noon at the Kraft Administrative Center.

Online surveys will also be available for staff, students and parents.
