El Paso County Colorado School District 49 has an exciting opportunity for a proven K-12 leader to join our team as Zone Superintendent in our POWER Zone. District 49 depends on Zone Superintendents to grow the robust portfolio of distinct and exceptional schools referenced in our strategic plan.

The Zone Superintendent supports district administrators by collaborating with the Chief Education Officer and serving as the primary liaison between the district and our schools in the zone. The Zone Superintendent provides oversight and direction to ensure zone and school compliance with applicable policy, law, ethical and professional obligations. This leadership role includes supervising school principals and other zone administrative staff; designing and communicating policies, practices and procedures; facilitating and monitoring zone and school objectives, projects and timelines; creating and communicating data/information; participating in budget development and monitoring; and ensuring that zone initiatives support the strategic priorities of the district, zone, and individual schools. 

Located in the northwestern area of the district, the POWER Zone serves more than 4,500 students in a traditional K-12 feeder system. The schools in the POWER Zone hold high expectations for academic success, so educators focus on excellence in traditional core academics delivered through proven education practices, where strong instruction is grounded in professional learning communities.

Applications must be submitted by April 8, 2021 at 11:59pm. First round interviews will be scheduled for Monday, April 12, 2021.
