North Penn SD names Lindsay Smith director of technology
Summary
On the district podcast July 21, Superintendent Todd Bauer introduced Lindsay Smith as North Penn School District's new director of technology. Smith described a background in elementary education, special education and a decade in another district's technology department.
Todd Bauer, superintendent of the North Penn School District, announced on the district podcast July 21 that Lindsay Smith has joined the district as its director of technology.
Smith, who introduced herself on the episode, described a career path from an elementary education major at Penn State to special education and creating district STEM programs. She said that work led her into technology and administration and that she spent about 10 years in a neighboring district's technology department building "big district vision and initiatives." "I am I'm so happy to be here," Smith said on the recording.
Bauer framed the hire as a continuity in the district's tech leadership: Smith succeeded longtime director Dr. Kristin Landis and has "seamlessly transitioned into the district," he said. Co-host Bob Gilmore noted that this coming school year will be Smith's first full year leading technology for North Penn.
Smith told the hosts she intends to continue district-level initiatives and to build on existing programs, praising North Penn's consistent K–12 branding and community pride. "I'm a huge fan of the K–12 branding," she said, noting that a unified visual identity helps community cohesion.
The podcast episode served as an introductory, informal announcement rather than a formal personnel action recorded in board minutes. No board vote or other formal action was presented in the episode; the hiring and administrative transition described were discussed conversationally on the podcast.
