Benicia Unified School District truustees will have another early start Thursday as they conduct a workshop with Bob Ferguson of McPherson & Jacobson LLC, the search firm that is helping the district find a replacement for retiring Superintendent Janice Adams.
The board heard a presentation from McPherson & Jacobson Feb. 5, at which time board President Gary Wing said trustees wanted to be as transparent as possible in their selection of a new superintendent.
Discussions during the workshop will include a timeline for making the decision — Adams officially steps down at the end of the semester, in June — advertising in media venues and identifying stakeholder groups.
