ARLINGTON, Texas - Arlington ISD is asking parents to help define the characteristics they want to see in their new superintendent.

The district has hired an executive search service from the Texas Association of School Boards to look for candidates for the job.
On Tuesday, March 21, Parents and Community Partners are asked to come to the Professional Development Center on Arbrook Boulevard to discuss the qualities they think the Board should look for in a superintendent candidate.
There is a session from Noon to 1:30 p.m. and another from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
An online survey will be available for parents who cannot attend.
