Blue Valley announces feeder‑pattern reorganization and names district directors
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Chapman outlined a feeder‑pattern staffing reorganization designed to align administrative support to feeder areas and save budget dollars, and the board introduced multiple director and assistant director appointments for each feeder pattern.
Superintendent Dr. Chapman presented the Blue Valley School District’s new feeder‑pattern staffing model at the May 11 board meeting and introduced the administrators who will lead each feeder area. "We have reorganized our staffing into a feeder pattern system," Dr. Chapman said, explaining the change is intended to streamline support services while producing budget savings.
The reorganization creates director and assistant director posts that pair a director of school administration with assistant directors of special education for each feeder area. The board recognized the newly named leaders: Chris Leglider (Director, Blue Valley High feeder), Scott Roberts (executive director, Blue Valley North feeder), Colette Barak (assistant director of special education), Dr. Lisa Grama (Northwest feeder director), Dr. Tyson Ostroski (Southwest feeder director), Amy Farthing (West feeder), Brad Page (principal, Blue Valley North High School), Brooke Ash (principal, Aubrey Bend Middle School), and Dr. David Sharp (principal, Blue Valley Academy).
Dr. Chapman said the district lacked funding to add new staff and that reassigning and consolidating existing positions into feeder teams is the most fiscally prudent way to increase on‑the‑ground support: "So we're really excited about this feeder pattern and look forward to the continued success of Blue Valley. It's a budget savings for us," she said. Board members congratulated appointees and thanked them for accepting the assignments.
The presentation included background on each leader’s experience and emphasized goals for continuous school improvement, supporting teachers, and building stronger relationships with families. The superintendent said the feeder model is intended to deliver more timely and targeted special education and administrative support to schools without raising overall staffing costs.
The board did not take a separate vote on the reorganization at the meeting; the appointments and listed changes were announced and recognized as administrative actions covered under the consent agenda and administrative appointment processes.
