Madison Local Schools Partners with Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve to Launch Superintendent Search
Madison, OH – The Madison Local School District has partnered with the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve (ESCWR) to assist in the search for the district’s next Superintendent. The Board of Education is committed to finding an exceptional leader who will guide the district into its next chapter of excellence in education.
The search comes after Superintendent Angela Smith announced her retirement at the end of her current contract. Her leadership over the years has been instrumental in shaping the district's vision and accomplishments. Madison Local Schools prides itself on providing high-quality education, innovative programs, and a nurturing environment for all students.
The ESCWR will assist with the entire superintendent search process, ensuring that the most qualified candidates are identified and considered. This collaboration reflects the district's commitment to transparency, community involvement, and finding a leader who aligns with Madison’s mission and values.
“We are excited to work with the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve in this important process,” said Shawn Douglas, President of the Madison Local Schools Board of Education. “The Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve has a proven track record in successfully guiding school districts through leadership transitions, and we are confident they will help us find the right person to continue the great work happening in our schools,” said Douglas.
The ESCWR will engage with stakeholders including staff, parents and community members to gather input on the desired characteristics and qualities for the next Superintendent. The input will help shape the profile for candidates and ensure that the final selection reflects the community’s involvement.
The search is expected to unfold over the next several months, with the goal of having the new Superintendent in place by August 1, 2025. The district encourages all community members to stay informed and participate in opportunities to share their perspectives during this important process.
