The Mt. Lebanon school board hired the superintendent search firm of McPherson and Jacobson last night to conduct the search for the district's new superintendent.
Current Superintendent John Allison, who took over the reins in Mt. Lebanon in July 2007, was appointed last week as the superintendent of the Wichita Public Schools in Wichita, Kan., near his hometown of Kansas City and near where his elderly parents live.
At last night's board meeting, Mr. Allison thanked the board and the community for the support that he received during his time as Mt. Lebanon's superintendent. He apologized for forcing the district into "the ordeal of a superintendent search" again so soon.

Where is the "Find Our Superintendent Now" group when we need them?
Based on past experiences it might be wise to focus the search within a 50 mile radius of Pittsburgh. I have no doubt there are some eminently qualified individuals currently working in a smaller district who would view this job as a big jump and be more inclined to stay more than say, oh, one and one-half years.....
macnjake - - go get us an Allison - - or better yet - - if we have to change, let's upgrade!
macnjake have about 25+ open positions in several states, so they should have more than their big toe in the viable candidate pool.
Of interest is their application with the following section:
The Board of Education has identified the following qualities for the superintendent of schools. Please respond to each of the qualities stressing your experience, strengths, and abilities in each area, limiting your responses to between 200 to 500 words for each item.
1. What are the personal and professional skills you possess that will help you become a successful leader in our district?
2. What specific experiences do you have with helping school districts maximize their academic potential?
3. How have you helped schools and communities unite in partnership to create the best possible educational successes as possible?
