Distress commission seeking CEO who can produce results

YOUNGSTOWN

The city schools CEO should have the ability to drive a “fundamental shift in school culture and instructional practices that result in gains and ongoing high performance,” the job posting reads.

The Youngstown City School District Academic Distress Commission is seeking a chief executive officer to manage and operate the school district. The ad seeking applicants for the job began running this week on the Ohio School Boards Association website and other sites and publications aiming to reach a national pool of candidates.

A national search is under way led by the Mahoning County Educational Service Center.

“The minimum qualifications, we got from the state, but the characteristics, the commission members developed,” said Brian Benyo, commission chairman.
