GPS Solutions Team Supports Baldwin Community Schools with a Superintendent Search.

The Baldwin Community School Board is looking to take a non-traditional approach to hiring their next Superintendent. They have engaged GPS Solutions to lead a nation-wide search for their next District Leader. In addition to the content knowledge necessary to run the District, the Board is concerned with the to-be-named leader’s ability to inspire a culture of equity and change while also possessing the ability to make those around them more emotionally intelligent. GPS Solutions’ process has included screening, phone interviews, Board interview and also a non-traditional approach they call, “The Town Hall.” GPS Solutions CEO, Dr. Chris Plum says, “The Hiring Town Hall is a way for not just Board members, but also teachers, students and parents an opportunity to vet candidates and get engaged in a fair process around hiring. “One of the most exciting parts of the day,” he commented, “is watching the candidates work together to solve problems and creatively plan a project that they actually present as a team back to the Town Hall participant panel! You really get a chance to see what a candidate is all about, how they share power, how they lead and if they actually know when to follow!”
