The Board has been working with a search firm to help with hiring a new Superintendent for the district, Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates.

The input we’ve gathered from the community will help us select candidates that represent the specific needs of the Birmingham Public Schools. We expect to find a dynamic leader that will help us move the district forward.”
