Questions

As the Belen Board of Education begins the process of selecting the district’s next Superintendent, we are seeking input from our staff, guardians, and community. Your feedback will help identify the qualities, leadership skills, and priorities that are most important in the next Superintendent of Belen Consolidated Schools.

We encourage all Belen Consolidated Schools staff members, guardians, and community members to take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your participation is an important part of the process and will help guide the Board as it moves forward with the Superintendent selection.
