Superintendent Search Process

Bay City Public Schools is undergoing a search for our next Superintendent of Schools. During the November 4, 2024 Board of Education meeting, a tentative timeline and additional details were approved.

Feedback from students, staff, parents, and community stakeholders is an essential part of the search process. While elected school board members ultimately select a final candidate, your input is shared with board members and utilized to help find the candidate that best meets the needs of BCPS.
