The Bethlehem Area School District Superintendent Selection web site is maintained to encourage and promote civic engagement    --  authentic and lively community involvement and participation --  in the critical process of recruiting and selecting an exceptional leader for the position of superintendent of schools.   It is the fundamental position of the All-Faith Racial Reconciliation Alliance that community involvement is essential both in the selection and the future success of our new superintendent.  

Three organizations --  All-Faith Racial Reconciliation Alliance (AFRRA), the Bethlehem Coalition for Quality Education (BCQE) and Organizing for America Better Bethlehem (OFABB), all advocate for the central role of the community in a transparent superintendent recruitment and selection process.

This web site has no affiliation with the BASD.
