Lewis-Palmer School District 38 is moving forward with an internal search for our next Superintendent of Schools. This leadership transition offers us an opportunity to reflect on our district’s goals and to ensure continued stability in support of our students, staff, and entire community.
At the Board of Education work session on April 8, the Board discussed next steps in the Superintendent search, and they delegated managing the process to the Director of Human Resources.
Our selection process will involve engaging staff, families, and community members to help identify the leadership qualities that are most important to our stakeholders.
Ways to Participate in the Search Process:
