The Salmon River Central School District Board of Education has announced it will initiate a search for a permanent superintendent following recent changes in district leadership. Dr. Terrance Dougherty was recently appointed interim superintendent and is expected to serve through Aug. 30.

As part of this transition, the Board is committed to a thoughtful and committed search process that reflects the needs and priorities of the Salmon River community. To support this effort, the Board is working with Dale Breault, District Superintendent of FEH BOCES, who will lead the search process. As part of their statutory duties, BOCES District Superintendents may be asked by component school boards to act as consultants during superintendent searches.

To gather community input, the Board of Education will launch a ThoughtExchange survey, inviting staff, students, families, and community members to share feedback on the leadership qualities, experience, and priorities they believe are important for the district’s next permanent superintendent. The feedback collected will help inform the Board’s decision making as the process moves forward.

ThoughtExchange provides participants with a confidential platform to share perspective and rate the thoughts of others, allowing the district to identify key priorities and shared values.

Additional updates regarding the search process will be shared as they become available.The Board of Education remains committed to transparency, accountability, and community engagement and will continue to keep the public informed as the search progresses.
