The Vernon Board of Education has engaged the New England School Development Council (NESDEC) to assist them in the search process for a new Superintendent of Schools.

An integral part of the process involves parent and community participation in an online survey. The survey is designed to obtain participant input about the attributes, experience, and knowledge that the new superintendent should possess. The survey also provides an opportunity for participants to identify immediate tasks which the new superintendent should address.

Please access the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GQPLXWH

The survey will be open from May 11-22, 2026.

Please see the attached document for further information about Focus Groups being held on May 12th and 13th.
