Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members:
The South Carolina School Board Association (SCSBA) has been retained by our school board to conduct the search for our next Superintendent. As we move forward from Dr. Fitzpatrick's tenure—during which our district has made meaningful progress on key priorities—we are now seeking a permanent superintendent who will continue to build on this foundation and advance our district’s mission.
Dr. Norris William's has been named Interim Superintendent and will guide our district during this transition. As with any superintendent search, the position will be open to all qualified candidates, and we are committed to a thorough and inclusive process.
Your Input is Essential
As part of the superintendent search process, SCSBA is conducting a confidential survey designed to gather your input.
Please Complete the Confidential Survey
We ask that you take a moment to complete this confidential survey before the deadline, January 3, 2026. Your responses will be sent directly to the SCSBA and will help shape possible interview questions developed by the board.

Next Steps
Following the closing of the survey, our search consultants will compile and analyze the data to create a summary report for the board. Visit the district website or watch the board meetings or contact us directly for updates on the search.
Thank you for your partnership and commitment to the future of the Lancaster County School District.
