Board welcomes new nutrition, operations, secondary‑learning and communications leaders
Summary
District administrators introduced four new hires to the board: Barbara (school nutrition director), Trisha Roby (director of school operations), Sarah Brinkley (director of secondary teaching, learning and equity) and Marlika (communications). Each spoke briefly about joining the district.
Board leadership introduced new district staff during the community connections portion of the meeting, describing each appointment and inviting the new hires to speak.
Barbara, introduced as the district’s new school nutrition director and noted as most recently working at Harvard University residential dining, thanked the board and said she is “very, very happy to be here” and eager to bring her experience to K–12 meal programs. Trisha Roby was introduced as the new director of school operations; administrators described her prior role as an assistant principal and noted experience in teaching and operations. Sarah Brinkley was introduced as the district’s new director of secondary teaching, learning, and equity; administrators summarized her background in instructional leadership and equity work and said she plans to listen, learn and build partnerships. The board also welcomed a new strategic communications staff member (referred to as Marlika/Marlita in the transcript) who described a background in visual storytelling and digital media.
No formal board action was required; the introductions were presented as informational items and board members offered brief thanks and encouragement to the new staff.
