School District Seeks Community Members for ARPS Superintendent Search Committee

Source: Amherst Regional School Committee

The Amherst-Pelham Regional and Union 26 School Committees (“the joint committees”) are embarking on a search process for a permanent superintendent. A key part of the process is a Search Committee made of up to 20 people composed of parents/guardians, community members, district employees and bargaining unit members, Amherst Regional High School students, and School Committee members. The Search Committee will review all applicants to the position, select candidates to interview, conduct interviews of those candidates, and decide on a number of finalists to recommend to the joint committees. The joint committees have the ultimate decision-making authority for the superintendent position. 

The Search Committee will be made up of a diverse group of people from all backgrounds, walks of life, and identities, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, socio-economic background and more. 

Those interested in being considered for the Search Committee should fill out the interest form. The Search Committee interest form is available online and on paper in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Paper forms are available at the main offices of Crocker Farm, Fort River, Wildwood, Pelham Elementary School, Amherst Regional Middle School, and Amherst Regional High School, as well as the district central office. The online forms, and other information about the search process, can be accessed on the Superintendent Search page of the district website.
