New Principal Search
We want to thank you for your continued interest in finding the next principal of Charles Barrett Elementary School. This week, the Department of Human Resources posted the position publicly and will be reaching out to ensure we get the best candidates possible.
You can review the job posting online.
In January, ACPS will begin the initial screenings based upon characteristics identified from the surveys you filled out. In February, we will identify the top two to three potential candidates, and conduct background checks and social media checks.
In March, the potential candidates will tour the school and be interviewed by two separate panels. They will also meet the superintendent one-on-one. The final candidate will be approved by the School Board in the spring. We will keep you updated throughout the process.
