Andover has chosen the qualities it wants in a new permanent superintendent, bringing the town closer to finding that person.
After hosting 15 focus groups with parents, students and school staff, the districtâs consulting firm, Ray & Associates, took input from those groups to help the School Committee determine the criteria being used as Andover advertises the position.
The consulting firm will recruit candidates until Feb. 28, putting the school district on track to hire a permanent superintendent who will start working July 1, said Molly Schwarzhoff, the firmâs executive vice president.
