The York Region District School Board believes that attracting, recruiting and promoting exemplary staff members supports the mission of advancing student achievement and well-being. In line with the Board’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan and the Director’s Action Plan, the Superintendent Selection Process meets the Board’s succession planning goals and talent development needs and contributes to building a workforce reflective of the communities we serve.
We are seeking applications from highly motivated, professionally qualified educational leaders for the position of Superintendent of Education that reflect the domains and competencies as outlined in the YRDSB Leadership Framework for Supervisory Officers (PDF).
The selection process for Superintendent Candidates is led by a Coordinating Team consisting of Human Resource Services Staff, and Senior Administration.
Successful applicants will be recommended to the Pool of Candidates Eligible for Appointment to Senior Leadership Team. Candidates will be maintained in this pool for a maximum of three years at which time a review will take place to determine the candidate’s eligibility to remain in the pool. Appointments to Senior Leadership Team will support the system’s continued focus on the achievement and well-being of our underserved and underperforming students, as determined through ongoing demonstrated leadership skills.
