WSSDA's Superintendent Search Handbook addresses topics such as selecting a consultant, setting a timeline, involving parents, citizens, students and staff, screening applications, conducting interviews, and negotiating a contract.  The guide also includes sample worksheets, model policies on the board-superintendent relationship and superintendent evaluations, and a model superintendent contract.
