Executive Search Services
When your district needs a superintendent with vision, goals, and experience to lead, let our expert search team support you through every step of the recruiting process.
The Texas Association of School Board (TASB) Executive Search Services (ESS) has been building successful leadership teams in Texas school districts for more than 30 years. We know the education landscape and are dedicated to supporting districts as they search for exceptional superintendents with lofty standards and who will ensure success and excellence for your students, district staff, and community. In addition to searches we conduct for Texas districts, ESS works and builds relationships with superintendent candidates seeking new leadership roles and supports districts that want to conduct their own searches, sharing useful information for conducting the process.
TASB ESS works with school boards, school districts, and applicants to make sure all parties involved in the superintendent search are taken care of from start to finish, resulting in successful schools with strong leadership.
