PRESS RELEASE

TO: News Media

FROM: Carthage Central School District Board of Education

DATE: March 4, 2020

RE: Carthage Superintendent – Recruitment/Selection Process

One of the most important decisions that a Board of Education will ever make is the recruitment and
selection of a Superintendent of Schools. This decision will not only impact our faculty, staff, and students,
but also our entire community. This is a responsibility that we as members of the Board of Education take
very seriously. Over the past several months the Board has embarked on a process to search for a new
Superintendent. The Superintendent’s vacancy was advertised widely in professional journals and
newsletters throughout New York State and across the country. Each member of the Board reviewed the
application materials of all applicants. Following a careful consideration of each candidate, the Board has
selected Jennifer Premo as the sole finalist they will bring forward in the process. Mrs. Premo is currently
serving as Interim Superintendent of Schools at Carthage Central School District.

During the next phase of the search process, the Board will be seeking feedback from the school community.
Stakeholder sessions have been scheduled for Thursday, March 26, 2020. Mrs. Premo will participate in a
series of sessions with the district’s staff, students, and community. At each of these sessions, Mrs. Premo
will share her vision for the future and participants will be able to ask questions. Members of the community
will have an opportunity to meet Mrs. Premo at a session scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 26,
2020, in the High School Cafeteria. The schedule for stakeholder sessions with community members, staff
and students is printed below. Each individual who elects to participate in the process will be invited to
provide the Board with written comments regarding their thoughts.
