Superintendent

Salem-Keizer Public Schools

Oregon’s picturesque Willamette Valley is home to one of the most fertile regions in the United States, making it a culinary and wine-lover’s delight, while also serving as the political center of the state. Right in the heart of this paradise you will find the cities of Salem and Keizer and the Salem-Keizer Public Schools. This is a welcoming place, rich in diversity, and we’d love for you to get to know us.  Please see our short videos that tell some of our story.

For the first time in nine years, we seek to hire a new Superintendent of Schools, and we see this as a rare opportunity to move forward a district that has gained national stature through a dedicated commitment and resolve of some of the best educators on the planet. Our new Superintendent will be an experienced, dynamic, equity-minded leader who is student-centered and excited to serve one of the largest school systems in Oregon, as well as to play a critical role impacting education at the state level.

Please note that this superintendent search will not include a public release of finalists’ names.  

Our vacancy window closes on January 2, 2023.  Confidential inquiries to Hank Harris and/or Kathleen Rodden-Nord are invited.  We also would be grateful if you share this opportunity with remarkable equity-driven leaders who would be enticed by the opportunity to live, work, and serve in this magnificent place.
