The position is now posted on several education job boards with professional organizations including the New York State Council of School Superintendents (NYSCOSS), the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) and OLAS, the On-line Application System for Educators, which serves school districts throughout the state.

HFM BOCES District Superintendent David Ziskin is working with the Johnstown Board of Education as a consultant during the search process. As part of their statutory duties, BOCES district superintendents may be asked by component school boards to act as consultants during superintendent searches. Dr. Ziskin will work with the board to create recruitment material and assist with the development of selection criteria and a process for interviews.
The deadline to apply for the position is March 17, 2025. The Board of Education’s goal is to have the next superintendent in place by August.
The district is launching a search to replace current Superintendent Dr. William Crankshaw, who has notified the board that he will retire in August, capping a 36-year career in the field of education, which includes 22 years of service to the Greater Johnstown School District. Crankshaw has served as Johnstown’s superintendent of schools since 2020.
