The Azusa Unified School District Board held a study session on February 24, 2026, primarily focused on the superintendent search process. The board discussed the search timeline, stakeholder engagement strategies including surveys and community forums, and the development of a position profile for the new superintendent. They emphasized the importance of transparency, community input, and inclusivity in the process, with plans to involve various groups such as teachers, classified staff, parents, students, city officials, and local educational partners. The board also deliberated on scheduling key dates for candidate vetting, interviews, and contract approval, aiming for a new superintendent to begin by July 1, 2026. Challenges such as declining enrollment, fiscal constraints, and completing ongoing capital projects were noted as critical considerations for the incoming superintendent. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting included procedural decisions related to the superintendent search procurement process.
