Board appoints Donald Evans as interim superintendent

Piedmont Unified School District Board of Trustees · August 12, 2026

Summary

The Piedmont Unified School District board voted 4–0 to appoint Donald Evans as interim superintendent, with Evans thanking the board and saying he was 'joyful' to return. The board noted this is an interim role covered via contract through the district's counsel (F3).

The Piedmont Unified School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to appoint Donald Evans as interim superintendent.

Board President Richie Medeker opened the agenda item and trustees moved and seconded a motion to appoint Evans. The motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded as 4–0. After the vote, Evans told the board he was "joyful" and grateful to return, saying, "This is my family," and that he was "excited about the possibilities" of working with district staff and the community.

Trustees framed the appointment as a stabilizing step during the leadership transition after Superintendent Jen Hahn's departure. Board members said Evans's prior experience with the district made him a logical interim choice; the board also noted the district will engage its law firm (F3) to process employment arrangements for the interim role. The board did not set a new permanent superintendent start date during the meeting.

Next steps: the board confirmed the appointment and the district will finalize contract details for the interim engagement.
