Tracey shared, "I am both excited and grateful for the opportunity to serve the learners and families of School District 82 as Superintendent.  Student success, well-being and inclusionary practices will continue to be at the forefront of our efforts as we implement the Board's Strategic Plan".

Sincere gratitude is extended by the Board to the Inter-Tribal Education Committee, staff, administrators and partner groups who contributed to the Superintendent Search process and participated in the interviews.  The insights provided were very helpful and the Board wishes to thank each participant for their time and valuable input.
