Information for Candidates Seeking Positions through IASB |
IASB superintendent searches are coordinated by the Executive Searches staff, who are located in both the Springfield and Lombard offices. For each search, the vacancy listing indicates the office, director and secretary to contact for more information.
A brochure announcing the vacancy is developed for each search. The brochure contains important information, including:
- a description of the district and community
- a description of "the person wanted"
- some indication of salary
- application procedures and processes
Candidates are invited to obtain a copy of the brochure as the first step in the application process.
