The Site Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council at Robert B. Turner Elementary discussed the process for selecting a new principal at a special called meeting on February 22, 2018. The council hopes to name a principal May 25, 2018 according to Superintendent Sheila Mitchell. At the February 22, 2018 special called meeting, the council established a written plan/timeline and decided to survey students, parents, staff and community members in order to gather input for establishing criteria for principal selection.
The council is seeking to gather as much input as possible by inviting Robert B. Turner students, parents staff, Anderson County staff and community members to complete an online survey to provide input to the council. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/89CXSLX beginning February 26, 2018 and ending March 1, 2018 at 3:00 pm. Paper surveys for folks without internet may be filled out in the Robert B. Turner office. We value your opinion as we make this very important decision.
The council will complete the required principal selection training on March 1, 2018 at a special called meeting. During the training the council will analyze the stakeholder input and develop criteria for the principal selection process. Interview questions will be developed based on the criteria. On March 22, 2018 at a special called meeting the council will review a list of applicants and determine which to interview. The council will conduct interviews and evaluate candidates April 9th- April 20th. The next Robert B. Turner principal is tentatively scheduled to be announced on May 25, 2018.
