There will be a called meeting of the Moultrie Colquitt County Development Authority on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 4:00 pm to discuss a property matter.

In response to the findings of the Colquitt County Schools Parent Perspectives Project coordinated by the Moultrie Colquitt County Development Authority, Superintendent Community Input Sessions were held to gather insights from community members. The sessions focused on thoughts, ideas, and perspectives of the participants as they relate to selecting the next superintendent of Colquitt County Schools.
The Parent Project listed a recommendation of including the community in the selection process of the next superintendent of Colquitt County Schools. With the agreement of the Colquitt County Board of Education, the Authority proceeded with hosting the sessions on November 30 and December 1, 2020.
The Superintendent Community Input Sessions began with the first goal of providing a venue for parents and caregivers, business and industry leaders, and teachers and administrators to provide input regarding the selection process and desirable components of the next superintendent. The second goal is to share the information with Colquitt County Schools’ Board of Education members, providing them with specific ideas and desires, based upon participant feedback, to be considered in the interview and selection process for the next superintendent.
In summary, the top Preferred Qualifications as listed in the Superintendent Search Announcement are listed below as ranked by the participants:
The ability to participate in the development of a widely shared vision, target a mission for learning and foster a positive, professional climate of mutual trust and respect among faculty staff and administration.
Evidence of a high level of effectiveness in the following personal qualities: Values, Judgement, Fit for the Position/Community, Emotional Intelligence, Organizational Ability, and Customer Focus.
A demonstrated ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with faculty and community members, respond to diverse community interests and needs and mobilize community resources.
A documented history of experience as a classroom teacher, principal, and as a central office administrator.
