Executive Director Search

The TCGIS Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the search is concluded and they have signed a contract with the next executive director.

The TCGIS Board of Directors is contracting with School Exec Connect, an executive search firm, to assist with the search for a new school director. Staff and parents had the opportunity to give confidential feedback to the consultants via an online survey and focus group discussions. Using this information, School Exec Connect has developed a profile of the skills and characteristics desired in the next school director.
