Next Steps in the Search for Laurel Dell's New Principal

Next Steps in the Search for Laurel Dell's New Principal

Dear Laurel Dell Families,

I am grateful for Jimmy Lopez’s service to the students, teachers, staff and community of Laurel Dell Elementary School. 

Looking ahead, the Board of Education, District leadership and I are committed to finding a highly-qualified and skilled leader who will lead the school with excellence. We have begun the search and recruitment process to find the best match to serve as the Laurel Dell principal for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. The principal position is currently posted. In addition to the job posting, we have a recruitment flyer and encourage you to share it with potential candidates. 

As we move through this process, it is important that we hear input and feedback from Laurel Dell families about what skills, attributes and characteristics you believe are critical for the school’s next leader. Below are some ways to provide input:


• Feedback Session for Parents: Parents and guardians are invited to join us for a special meeting to share their feedback on Laurel Dell’s next leader. We hope you can attend!
