I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer. I am excited to begin working with our school board, wonderful staff, and community as Superintendent. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve the Triton communities of Claremont, Dodge Center, and West Concord. I have been blessed to have the unique experience of growing up in the school district, graduating from Triton, and also serving as a Principal here for the past nine years. I am thrilled to begin this important journey and for the opportunity to lead and give back to the place that has been very special to me and my family.
Our work and priorities should match our community’s expectations, aspirations, and goals. Although I have been employed at Triton for the past nine years, I must emphasize being a listener first. One major task as we begin this journey together is to learn more from our community members, families, and staff about what we are doing well and also what needs to be improved or changed. We also face the reality of increased costs, decreased enrollment, and budget reductions as we head into the school year.
Over the next few weeks, our school district will mail a community survey to all residents within the district. The goal of the survey is to gather input regarding how to best address our district’s operational needs. School Perceptions is an independent education research firm that we are working with to administer the survey.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and participation.
