JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown School Board has selected Western New York Educational Service Council as their search consultant for the purpose of conducting a superintendent search. The decision was made following a special board meeting on Thursday night.
According to a release from the school district, the Western New York Educational Service Council contracts with school districts for recruitment in the selection process of their new Superintendent of Schools.
The consultant will assist the Jamestown School Board with candidate recruitment, credential reviews, and on-site consultation in the hiring process. The firm will identify an average of 20 sets of credentials for each candidate for the board to review, prior to the board reaching a final decision on a new superintendent.
The Jamestown School Board is in the process of finding a new superintendent for the district following the departure of previous superintendent Tim Mains, who left the district in February after taking a job with the Pine Bush School District on the eastern side of New York State, near the Hudson Valley region. The district has hired Sylvia Root to serve in the interim.
