Roseville Area Schools welcomes new leaders, honors retirees and lists community donations
Summary
Board introduced Mora Wyant as associate superintendent and Colleen Atapu as the new Edgerton principal, accepted several long-tenured retirements, and recorded community gifts to schools and programs.
At its Aug. 19 meeting the Roseville Area School Board introduced Mora Wyant as one of two new associate superintendents and welcomed Colleen Atapu as the new principal at Edgerton Elementary School. Wyant spoke about her experience as principal at Edgerton and her commitment to equity and community; Atapu told the board she chose Roseville because of the district's community alignment and described her path into education.
The board also accepted multiple retirements announced by district staff: Mary Alexander (adaptive physical education teacher, 32 years); Tana Bogenholm (elementary district director, 33 years); John Kiser (counselor, 17 years); Timothy O'Brien (English Language Outreach Manager, 16 years); and Florence (Flor) Odegaard (Title Programs Administrator, 20 years). Board members offered public appreciation.
Director Bob Raschevski (listed in the transcript as reading gifts) read community contributions to schools, including instrument donations, monetary gifts for school needs from charitable foundations and local donors, and contributions toward inclusive playground projects at Parkview Center.
Why it matters: Leadership appointments and retirements affect school operations and staffing stability. Community donations support programming and specific projects such as inclusive playgrounds and music programs.
Next steps: New leaders will assume their school- and district-level duties ahead of the school year; the board held a motion to approve retirements and recorded donor gifts in meeting minutes.
