PRINCE EDWARD — The Prince Edward County School Board will hold a second public forum to receive community input concerning the next superintendent on Monday at 6 p.m.

Members of the community are invited to meet with BWP and Associates — the board-selected search firm — to identify characteristics desired in a prospective school chief.

After gathering community input, the search firm will generate a leadership profile outlining the desirable candidate for the position.

The forum will be held at the middle school, located at 35 Eagle Drive in Farmville.

“We’re just looking for the community … to come and give us some input,” said Buffalo District Representative and Board Chairman Russell Dove. He said the board is seeking qualities and characteristics of a school chief that the community wants, or doesn’t want.

Superintendent Dr. David Smith said in December that he wouldn’t seek to renew his contract, which expires June 30.
