Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates | 1475 E. Woodfield Rd., Ste. 1400 | Schaumburg, IL 60173 | 847.724.8465 www.hyasearch.com
January 8, 2019 Mr. Doug Purcell, President Downers Grove Grade School District 58 Board of Education 1860 63rd Street Downers Grove, IL 60516 Dear Members of the Downers Grove Grade School District 58 Board of Education: Thank you for the opportunity to present this overview of the services that Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, (HYA) can provide to the Downers Grove Grade School District 58 in your search for a new Superintendent. Why is HYA exceptional amongst educational search firms? We believe it is due to the following factors: NATIONAL REACH – LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: We have conducted over 1200 searches and are represented by associates across the nation. We have also conducted searches for more than half of the member districts of the Council of Great City Schools and 47 of the 100 largest districts in the country. THE BOARD PORTAL: Communication and organization are critical to successful searches. Our web-based delivery system gives the Board anytime, anywhere access to all documents regarding the search. Whether through a tablet, smart phone, laptop or desktop computer, the Board and the search Associates have confidential access to all information associated with the search in an organized, transparent, and timely manner. RESEARCH BASED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: HYA’s community engagement process and online survey employ research-based approaches to identifying the goals, needs, and priorities of the school system along with the desired characteristics of its next leader. The survey was developed based on research on effective leadership. MORE THAN A BACKGROUND CHECK – EXECUTIVE DUE DILIGENCE: HYA’s comprehensive and expanded background checks are completed by independent third-party investigators and include an executive summary allowing for an analysis of findings, not simply dozens of articles and documents for Board members to read. Our technical proposal, which follows, was written and coded based on the requirements defined in your RFP. Additionally, the brochure entitled, HYA Signature Search Process, defines a prototypical search, but please know that HYA customizes each search to the District’s and Board’s specific needs and wishes. Sincerely,
Glenn “Max” McGee, PhD President Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates

THE SEARCH TEAM HYA assigns an individual management team to each executive search that it conducts. Upon the concurrence of the Board, HYA proposes the following search team. HYA Associate Cell Phone Email
Ken Arndt 847-456-2738 [email protected]
Mary Biniewicz 630-306-0623 [email protected] The proposed search team members recently had the pleasure of working with the District 58 Community during the Strategic Plan. The information they learned about the District and the community throughout that process will serve to be an invaluable resource should they be selected to assist the District with the Superintendent search. Ken Arndt: Ken brings to HYA his extensive background in public and private education and management. He has led pre-K through grade 12 districts ranging in enrollments of 2,000 to 42,000 students. As a former superintendent for 20 years, this has allowed him to bring
a unique perspective to his work at HYA. He has chaired Executive Searches and facilitated Strategic Planning projects. Ken works closely with superintendents and principals and their leadership teams to create practical solutions to current challenges. His leadership has enabled districts to turn challenging opportunities into realities. He has worked in turnaround districts and has facilitated efforts toward improving human capital management, strategic planning, and resource allocation projects. Ken holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toledo, Ohio. Mary Biniewicz: Mary works for the DuPage Regional Office of Education in DuPage County, IL. Her responsibilities include development, oversight and management of several programs including STEM education, professional development, grants, and planning and coordination of services for DuPage County educators and schools. Prior to her work with the Regional Office, Mary served in central office and building level roles in comprehensive high school districts, with a focus on curriculum, instruction, assessment, student services, staff evaluation, grant coordination, and collaborative processes designed to achieve district and building goals. Mary also serves as a school board officer and coordinates conferences, programs and services for the Illinois Science Teachers Association. Executive oversight for the search is provided by the HYA president, Dr. Max McGee. He can be reached at 224-234-6129 and [email protected]. Therese Meyer serves as project manager and can be reached at 847-744-5640 and [email protected].

about the search. The consultants will assist the Board until the Board determines it has found the appropriate candidate for the position. Non-Solicitation of Selected Candidate The Superintendent appointed with HYA’s assistance will not be presented to another Board as a candidate if it would result in the Superintendent leaving the District within three (3) years of employment unless the Board provides written authorization to HYA that they may do so. Client-Satisfaction If the Superintendent departs from the position during the first year under any circumstances or within two (2) years if a majority of the Board is still in place and departure is due to dissatisfaction and not personal or familial reasons, HYA will recruit new candidates for the Board at no additional cost barring travel, advertising and due diligence expenses. Price Match HYA will agree to match the price of any competitive bid as long as the bid is for a comparable level of services and support (both time and process).

Signature Search Process
National Reach – Local Focus
Established in 1987, Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) is one of the oldest
and largest search firms having assisted more than 1,200 school boards select exceptionally talented leadership in school systems across the nation, large and small, urban and rural. HYA’s reputation and experience make it one of the preem-
inent school search firms in the nation and a standard which others often emulate. HYA Associates are located across the country to conveniently serve clients and are thus uniquely qualified to bring local - as well as national - perspectives, knowl-edge, experience, and connections to each search.
The Board Portal
Communication and organization are critical to successful searches. Our web-based delivery system gives the Board anytime, anywhere access to all documents regarding the search. Whether through a tablet, smart phone, laptop or desktop computer, the Board and the search Associates have confidential access to all information associated with the search in an organized, transparent, and timely manner.
Executive Oversight
Every HYA search has executive oversight by one President and project manager to ensure all details are carefully managed. HYA has professionally staffed offices, a technological infrastructure, and a staff of full-time employees. Our tech team serves as a resource to school districts for linking the online community survey and other search materials to their website. These resources make HYA capable of responding to Board’s requests in a very timely fashion.
Research Based
HYA has over 30 years of experience supporting school districts in improving stu-
dent outcomes. HYA’s community engagement process and online survey employ research-based approaches to identifying the goals, needs, and priorities of the
school system along with the desired characteristics of its next leader. The survey was developed based on research on effective leadership. The resulting Commu-
nity and Leadership Profile Survey Report provides information on the current state of the District, essential information the Board will use in the selection process and the new leader can use day one of employment. Furthermore, by blending consult-ing, professional service, and technology, HYA offers transition services and an analytics infrastructure to help the Board and their new leader better understand the interrelationships among school functions, and the impact of decisions and expenditures on student outcomes.

More Than a Background Check – Executive Due Diligence
HYA’s comprehensive and expanded background checks are completed by independent third-party investigators and include an executive summary allowing for an analysis of findings, not simply dozens of articles and documents for Board members to read. The investigative procedures are comprehensive and thorough with a focus on the public school landscape - well beyond what constituents could produce through a simple internet search. This includes on-site research of primary source documents at relevant county court houses for civil and criminal record history. Additionally news and social media investigations provide a better understanding of a candidate’s leadership style, public relations skills, and reputation.

The Engage phase consists of designing and planning a process of engaging the Board and stakeholders through interviews, online surveys (available in world languages), and focus groups.

The Four Phases of HYA’s Signature Search
4
HYA Signature Search Process
The Select phase consists of providing the Board with a slate of candidates that were interviewed by HYA Associates using the Leadership Profile established by the Board. HYA Associates are committed to spending the necessary time and energy on the details to find the right candidates to bring to the Board. The search team then facilitates the Board interviews and appointment process including reviewing candidates’ references. HYA’s ability to gain important background information regarding candidates - beyond what appears on an individual’s resume - is a unique and distinguishing characteristic of HYA, and is attributable to the integrity of the firm, Associates, and the vast networks of professional relationships built through years in the education field. A workshop on interviewing and construction of interview questions is facilitated by the Associates for the Board. Executive due diligence including formal background and media checks complete the Select phase (as selected and paid for by the Board pursuant to Appendix B).
Select
The Transition phase consists of assisting the Board and new Superintendent to assure a successful transition. Appointing a new leader is the first step toward accomplishing organizational and student goals for success. Included in the search fee is a transition meeting with the new Superintendent and representative(s) of the Board regarding the information learned throughout the search process, in particular, the Community and Leadership Profile Survey. Additional transition services are available (as selected and paid for by the Board pursuant to Appendix C).
Transition
The Recruit phase consists of leveraging HYA’s extensive national network of Associates and incorporating advertising strategies (as selected and paid for by the Board pursuant to Appendix A) that results in the identification and recruitment of exceptionally talented leaders. HYA can also recruit non-traditional candidates, i.e. executives that have worked in business, military, private or public sector. HYA works in close partnership with state and national organizations with numerous Associates serving on those Boards.
Recruit

In addition to the Associates assigned to the search, all nation-wide Associates in the firm are tasked with identifying prospective candidates. Board members will receive the business, home and cell phone numbers, as well as the email addresses of the Associates.

HYA incorporates executive due diligence in the search process. The comprehensive and expanded background checks are completed by independent third-party investigators and include an executive summary allowing for an analysis of findings, not simply dozens of articles and documents for Board members to read. The investigative procedures are comprehensive and thorough with a focus on the public school landscape - well beyond what constituents will produce through a simple internet search. This includes on-site research of primary source documents at relevant county court houses for criminal record history. Each background search requires 7-10 working days to complete.
Two packages are offered. The Comprehensive Package includes a news and social media analysis. The news media investigation provides a better understanding of a candidate’s leadership style, public relations skills and priorities. The news media investigation draws upon over 28,000 specialized publications and 900 newswires in 200 countries and includes 30 years of credible archived information. Special focus is given to publications in communities where the candidate has lived or worked. The social media review includes a review of text and images on sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, personal blogs and industry websites. The analysis provides a summary of candidate generated activity with highlights of negative alerts.
The Basic package was designed in response to requests for a simpler cabinet or principal position background check; it does not include the news and social media analysis.

Transition ServicesHYA offers optional transition services that would benefit Boards and new Superintendents during the transition period and the Superintendent’s first year in the school district.
Board Governance Workshop
The Board Governance Workshop requires 3-4 hours and provides the Board the opportunity to clarify the respective roles of the Board and the Superintendent. The workshop addresses the concepts of trusteeship, governance, management, continuous improvement and systematic change. Developing and maintaining effective Board-Superintendent relations, the need for long and short range planning, consensus decision-making, and other components of successful Board service are also discussed at this workshop.
Board Goal Setting & Superintendent Evaluation
To develop and maintain effective Board-Superintendent relations and provide the Board with an opportunity to determine what it desires to have the Superintendent achieve during his/her first two years in the position, goals and the evaluation process must be codified and understood with great clarity. The evaluation process should reinforce the concept of continuous improvement, and should monitor the achievement of the Board’s goals. Processes and instruments for performance evaluation will be provided.
Comprehensive First Year Support
This service includes both the Board Governance Workshop and the Board Goal Setting & Superintendent Evaluation service in addition to ongoing mentoring for the new Superintendent. The mentoring relationship will be designed with the HYA Associate and the new Superintendent with input from the Board. There is a focus on monitoring progress towards attainment of Board goals and facilitation of the Superintendent’s first year evaluation.
Strategic Planning
Improving student outcomes begins with a clear and compelling vision for student success. When a new leader is appointed, a clear and concise strategic plan helps guide decisions and ensures energy is directed toward advancing the priorities of the community as directed by the Board. A disciplined strategic planning process allows school systems to engage stakeholders, build a consensus around what matters, and channel resources accordingly in order to ensure a maximum return on investments. A disciplined strategic planning process provides clarity of purpose as well as a structure to align the organization, its structures, and its policies. This service is typically a 3-6 month engagement.
Governance Dashboards
Governance dashboards help to facilitate, launch, and govern implementation of the district’s strategic plan and give meaningful data for the Board to evaluate the impact and return on investment that strategic goals are having on student achievement, financial, and other system outcomes. The strategic dashboard provides a framework for the Board and Superintendent to communicate the priorities and progress of the school system to the community. This service is a continued service from year to year.
