BALTIMORE, MD, UNITED STATES, September 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) is pleased to announce that the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners (the Board) will host six community engagement events as a critical component in the district’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) search process. The Board, in partnership with Alma Advisory Group (Alma), will utilize input from community members collected at these events to develop the set of desired CEO traits, experiences, and priorities that make up the candidate profile. This will guide the search, ensuring the community’s voice is meaningfully woven into each phase of the search process.

The week of community engagement events will kick off with a CEO Search Kickoff & Q&A Session hosted by Mayor Brandon M. Scott. The Board is interested in hearing from the community on desired attributes for the next CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools. This is an opportunity to share details with the community and answer questions about the Board’s role and the CEO search process. The public can dial in at (855)-756-7520 Ext. 125 847# on Monday Sept. 15 from 6 p.m - 7 p.m. to participate.

The CEO search community forums schedule is outlined below:

After the community forums conclude, Alma will use the feedback collected to develop a position description that will be posted. Simultaneously, the Board will host a media tour with local news outlets to discuss outcomes of the forums, updates on the CEO search process, and answer questions from the community-at-large.

”The Board of School Commissioners is thrilled to move forward with the district’s CEO search timeline,” said City Schools Board Chair Robert Salley. “We look forward to meeting with the community at these forums and gatherings. The key learnings and data gathered from these events will be the foundation for developing the most impactful CEO candidate profile that clearly communicates City Schools’ needs.”
