He suggested keeping it simple, starting with an identification of the person’s position (student, parent, teacher, etc.) and then asking the person for district strengths/challenges and the most important characteristics for the next superintendent. Casey Overbeck asked Betsy Collins for her input. There was support for both open-ended and choices on the survey.
