Dear Faculty and Staff,
We invite you to participate in the first step of finding a new Head of School by joining representatives from Spencer Stuart (the consulting firm MKA has hired to assist us with recruitment) in a conversation about the direction and leadership of MKA and the qualities the ideal candidate should possess. Because your insights and perspective are critical to a successful hire, we strongly encourage everyone to participate.
The schedule for faculty and staff conversations with Spencer Stuart is below. Please plan to attend the session on your campus, but if you are unable, feel free to attend a meeting at another campus. Primary School Faculty and Staff Tuesday Primary School Library Middle School Faculty and Staff Tuesday 3:45 to 4:30 p.m.

Each conversation will include the following four questions:
In addition to these on-campus discussions, all members of the MKA community will also have the opportunity to contribute their insights through an online survey in early March. All input will greatly help the Search Committee and Spencer Stuart to create and refine a position specification, which we will then use to promote the opportunity to prospective candidates.
We are very appreciative of your involvement in this process.
Warmly,
Head of School Search Committee Montclair Kimberley Academy 201 Valley Road • Montclair, NJ 07042 • 973-746-9800. |
