5 Correlation Between Interviews and Survey The top rated characteristics that online respondents selected correlate strongly with the themes expressed in the individual and focus group interviews and in order of importance, included the following: Listen to and effectively represent the interests and concerns of students, staff, parents, and community members. Foster a positive professional climate of mutual trust and respect among faculty, staff, and administrators Have a clear vision of what is required to provide exemplary educational services and implement effective change. Hold a deep understanding of the teaching/learning process and of the importance of educational technology. HYA cannot promise to find a candidate who possesses all of the characteristics desired by respondents. However, HYA and the Board intend to meet the challenge of finding an individual who possesses most of the skills and character traits required to address the concerns expressed by the constituent groups. We will seek a new superintendent who can work with the Jefferson Union High School District to provide the leadership needed to sustain the high academic standards and student performance while meeting the challenges the District faces at this time. The consultants would like to thank all the participants who attended focus group meetings or completed the online survey. In addition, we would like to thank all of the District office staff members who assisted with our meetings. Respectfully submitted, William Levinson Barbara Young HYA: Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates Page 5
