Lake Forest School District 67 will be working with School Exec Connect, an educational search firm, to assist the District in hiring new leadership for Deer Path Middle School. As a part of that process, School Exec Connect is conducting a survey to solicit input that will enable the firm to create a Principal Profile describing the characteristics that are needed to be successful. The Principal Profile will guide us in the selection process.

Please take about ten minutes to fill out the following on-line survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BJHVG3R by no later than Saturday, January 25, 2020.
