Pittsburgh Public Schools makes first step in national search for permanent superintendent

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Board of Public Education on Thursday announced that it has officially begun the process to find a new permanent superintendent for the Pittsburgh Public Schools.

A request for proposals was issued to a select group of search firms who have until March 9, 2022, at 5 p.m. to submit their proposals in order to be considered to help lead the national search. The board said that it plans to approve the contract for the search firm that is selected at its meeting on March 23, 2022.

“The decision to conduct a national search provides the opportunity for us — as a school community — to determine the ideal type of leadership we need to guide our District into the future,” Sala Udin, the president of the board, said. “The goal is to have the permanent superintendent in place by the start of the 2022-2023 academic year.”
