District Superintendent Services

The District Superintendent of the Sole Supervisory District of Sullivan County acts in three major capacities:

  • As a consultant to individual districts;
  • As a liaison between component districts and the State Education Department; and,
  • Upon request, will serve as a consultant for component districts in the search process of selecting a new Superintendent of Schools.

The aforementioned services are performed at no additional costs to component districts, beyond BOCES administrative charges, except costs incidental to the recruitment and election process.


Consultation is provided on a variety of educational issues, including but not limited to:

  • NYS Learning Standards
  • Superintendent/Board Performance Appraisals
  • Management Planning
  • Instructional Programs
  • Educational Regulations/Procedures
  • Technology Planning
  • Board/Administration Relationships
  • Mainstreaming
  • Reorganization/Merger Studies
  • Superintendent Contracts
  • School Boundaries
  • Public Relations
  • Legislature/Policy Actions
  • Facility Studies


Liaison activities are performed by facilitating communication between Districts and the State Education Department, as well as other public and private agencies. The role also includes the interpretation and clarification of the Commissioner’s Regulations, Policies, and Procedures that have an impact on education in the Supervisory District.


Search includes coordinating all activities related to the search process of Superintendent selection and any other administrative position upon the request of the district. The process includes the use of a community-based screening committee, advertising, reference search, scheduling interviews, and contract development.
