Letter to the Community: Message from Bronxville Board of Education President Regarding Bronxville Superintendent Search
Dear Members of the Bronxville Community:
Sep. 14, 2016: The members of the Bronxville Board of Education cordially invite all members of the school community to attend a meeting on Tuesday, September 20, 2016, in the auditorium from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm to assist the board in the selection process for the new superintendent of schools.
At this meeting, you will have an opportunity to meet with the search consultants from School Leadership, LLC, who have been engaged to assist the board in the search. The consultants will describe the process and timetable for conducting the search and devote the majority of the meeting to obtaining your input on the following questions:
-
What are the attributes of the Bronxville School District that you believe would attract a highly qualified educator to seek the position as our superintendent?
-
What do you believe are the major leadership challenges that our new superintendent will face over the next five years?
-
What prior experiences and personal and professional qualities do you believe the new superintendent should have to be successful in this role?
Information from this and other meetings with members of the Bronxville School community will be synthesized into a set of search specifications that the board anticipates approving at its meeting on Thursday, October 20, 2016. These specifications will then guide the search consultants and the board of education as we recruit and meet with potential candidates.
Whether or not you are able to attend this meeting, we ask that you complete the brief survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Bronxvilleschool to provide additional input.
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this critically important process.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Rohr, President
Bronxville Board of Education

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
