OnRamps is reviewing a nationwide candidate pool and conducting first and second-round interviews with candidates.

The CS Team and OnRamps engaged in collaborative listening sessions to gather insights and talk with stakeholders across our ECS. Sessions including:

In January, the ECS Board of Trustees voted to select OnRamps as the executive search firm tasked with securing a new CEO. The CS Team and OnRamps finalized the job description, core competencies, and regional compensation analysis, and received ECS Board approval to move forward in posting the position on February 1, 2024. 

The CEO Succession Planning Team was pleased to see a number of organizations respond, and over the course of six days, interviewed nine agencies in one-hour virtual meetings with a series of set questions and a rubric to note the key features of each.

Today, I am excited to announce the individuals selected for the CEO Succession Planning Team that will join Ms. Elliott and Ms. Sheaffer:

Since Thursday’s announcement about Mr. McCann’s intention to retire at the conclusion of this school year, we have both been overwhelmed by your words of support, thoughtful messages, and great anticipation as we take this next step in ECS’s history.

It is with a great deal of emotions that I inform you that I officially communicated my intention to retire at the conclusion of the 23–24 school year during last night’s ECS Board of Trustees closed executive session.
