Directors will vote on June 18 to confirm Stein as interim superintendent. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Stein was selected, in part, due to his deep understanding of the work principles, educators and school teams do every day,\u201d board President Michelle Applegate said during the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Dorland\u2019s last day leading Colorado\u2019s second-largest school district is July 5. She was hired as superintendent in 2021, which made her Jeffco Public Schools\u2019 sixth superintendent in seven years. <\/p>\n<p>She led the district through students\u2019 return to the classroom during the pandemic and amid significant budget cuts and school closures as K-12 enrollment fell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI walked into quite a bit of instability and a leadership vacuum,\u201d Dorland said in an interview. \u201cIt was a season of leadership for me where we had to make difficult decisions about very hard things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dorland is leaving the district to become the vice president of academic leadership and engagement for the College Board, which is known for administering SAT and Advanced Placement exams, she said. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our Mile High Roundup email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1208\">Colorado mother charged with murder in 16-year-old daughter\u2019s death from chronic alcoholism<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1210\">Northern Colorado toddler dies after falling into ditch near Fort Collins<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1212\">Cherry Creek Schools\u2019 board appoints new member<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeffco Public Schools&#8217; Board of Education named Rob Stein, who formerly led the Roaring Fork School District, as the district\u2019s sole finalist for interim superintendent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
