The Brainerd Public Schools Board of Education has officially launched its search for a new superintendent. To support this process, the Board has contracted with the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) to provide guidance and facilitation throughout the search.

The School Board convened on November 6, 2025, to outline the search plan. A key component of the process is gathering meaningful input from staff, families, and community members. The Board encourages all stakeholders to participate in the following opportunities:

All interested individuals can complete the Brainerd Public Schools Superintendent Search Survey online HERE.  Hard copies are also available at the Brainerd Public Schools Welcome Center located at 804 Oak Street, Brainerd.
