The Pine-Richland School Board is looking for a superintendent to take the place of Dr. Mary Bucci.

The board voted in October not to renew her contract when it expired June 30.

The board hired Pennsylvania School Boards Association as a consultant to handle to the search.

Superintendent, Pine-Richland School District, Allegheny County, PA.  Appointment in Spring, 2013.  Start date by July 1.  Enrollment approximately 4,600. 

Successful candidate will be a student-focused, ethical leader with the professional will to motivate and evaluate a highly qualified staff, and delegate responsibilities with focus and effectiveness. 

With the education and development of students as the district’s top priority, the candidate must have a demonstrated commitment to the continuous improvement of teachers and administrators in order to position the district’s human and financial resources most strategically.
