Frisco ISD has established a timeline and a community engagement plan for the superintendent search to replace retiring Superintendent Jeremy Lyon.

According to the district, the board of trustees intends to name a lone finalist by the last week of the 2016-17 school year, which is May 29-June 2.

FISD is also giving employees and community members an opportunity to provide comments on a superintendent profile at both internal meetings and public forums.

“Feedback is critical to help shape the superintendent profile and none is more important than that of our employees,” board President Anne McCausland said in a statement. "They know the mechanics of what goes into teaching our students and that knowledge will largely contribute. Our community members are also vested in this district and have a say in what shapes FISD. We want to hear from these groups.”

In early April, the board hired Jenny Preston Educational Consulting as the the search firm to help in the search process. The firm has already met with staff and a board-appointed focus group.

Community forums are set for May 1 at Wakeland High School and May 3 at Independence High School. Both meetings will take place from 6-8 p.m. in the school cafeterias.

In addition, FISD set up an online survey for community members to take regarding qualities desired in the next superintendent. To learn more about the superintendent search process click here.
