The mission of the Berkshire Local Schools is to maximize each student's potential as an individual and as a responsible citizen. About 77% of the graduating class attend either a 2 or a 4 year college. The district is a member of the Auburn Career Center, offering College Credit Plus to grades 7-12, advanced placement and honors courses, 16 varsity sports teams, and 31 extracurricular activities. The district is financially solvent with a 1% community income tax.

This superintendent position is being created due to the retirement of Doug DeLong. The Berkshire district serves about 1,224 students in the communities of Burton, Claridon, Montville, Thompson, and Troy, Ohio. Located in Geauga County, Burton is about 35 minutes east of Cleveland and encompasses about 70 square miles. About one year ago, Berkshire absorbed a neighboring school district, Ledgemont, which added about 350 students.

The Board of Education is seeking candidates that have prior administrative experience, are knowledgeable about curriculum, instruction, and special education, are very creative and visionary, possess good speaking skills, are strong leaders, mentors, and guides for staff members, and have good community relations skills. The salary is competitive for the area, and the starting date is August 1, 2017, or before.
