On Wednesday, the school board introduced the new superintendent, Dr. Gustavo Balderas, after voting to hire him the same morning.
Balderas will replace current superintendent Don Grotting, who is retiring July 1.
Baldreas thanked the board and said he was honored and humbled to be selected to lead the school district.
“As we begin the work ahead in this district, a district that truly is a leader in the Pacific Northwest, we will work together to continue to focus on kids,” Balderas said during a speech Wednesday. “Kids are the center of all decision making and we will ensure we’re meeting the needs of all kids.”
