Dr. Tracy Pierce's title changed this year from a "Chief Officer" to "Deputy Superintendent of School Instruction". She is the chief administrator over all LWSD schools - including the principals in all the High Schools, Junior Highs, and Elementary Schools. Four Directors of Support report to her.
At the beginning of the Regular Meeting (Minute 9) Deputy Superintendent Tracy Pierce introduced her four Directors of School Support - Ken Lyon (Eastlake), Kelly Pease (Redmond), Heather Sinclair (Juanita), and David Larson ( Lake Washington). Watch them here! (scroll to Minute 9).
