Information for Candidates and Interim Superintendents

Information for Superintendent Candidates

IASB superintendent searches are coordinated by the Executive Searches staff located in both the Springfield and Lombard offices. For each search, the vacancy listing indicates the consultant and administrative assistant to contact. For more information about IASB's Executive Search process contact Executive Searches Staff.

An announcement of vacancy is developed for each search. The announcement contains important information that includes a description of the district and community, a description of the ideal candidate, application procedures and processes, and a compensation package developed by the board of education.
