Community Engagement

An important part of the search process is gathering input for the Board to consider as it moves forward in selecting the new superintendent, and here are two ways you can engage in the search process:

1.   SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SURVEY

An anonymous public survey is now available for all interested parties to fill out between December 9 – January 5, 2026.  Click here to complete the Benson Public Schools Superintendent Search Survey. Hard copies of the survey are also available at the district office in Benson. Please return any completed surveys to the same location by January 5, so they can be included with the online survey results.

Following the survey deadline of January 5, MSBA will summarize and provide an overview of the responses for presentation to the School Board.

1.   VIRTUAL QUESTION/ANSWER SESSION WITH MSBA

To ensure all constituents in the district have access to accurate information regarding search processes and expectations, MSBA will host a virtual Q & A with MSBA at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, December 17. Click here to join the Zoom session at that time. All interested individuals are invited to attend the live session; however, to accommodate busy schedules as well as ensure access to search information, the session will also be recorded and made available on the district website for the remainder of the search.

Questions about the search process can be submitted anonymously in advance by clicking here: Submit Questions About the Search Here. The deadline for submittal of advance questions is Wednesday, December 17, at noon. Questions may also be submitted during the session using the chat box.

We hope you can join MSBA for this overview of the upcoming search process. If you are unable to join us live, please visit the district website to watch the recording at a later date. Contact Amy Jordan, MSBA Associate Director of Leadership Development and Executive Search, at 507-479-9984 with any questions. Thank you for your interest and participation in the superintendent search process!
