The current search for a superintendent has the schools turning to the public for feedback.

With Norwalk Public Schools engaged in a search for the next superintendent to succeed Interim Anthony Daddona, the district is turning to the residents who live in Norwalk and go to school here for feedback.

In collaboration with the district, PROACT has developed a community survey," said Michael Lyons, Norwalk Board of Education Chair. "The Board and the Superintendent Search Committee are very interested in receiving community input on the desired characteristics of the next Norwalk Superintendent of Schools."
