Superintendent Dr. Brenda Pilch told the board on March 10 that she was recognized at the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) national conference in New Orleans as Colorado’s superintendent of the year and that several district cabinet members accompanied her.
Pilch said the ceremony recognized 50 state superintendents who were selected; a national winner from Alabama was announced from among four finalists.
