I am the assistant superintendent of Mission Public School District, with approximately 6100 students in 13 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 secondary, an alternative school, and a trades college.  My responsibilities include curriculum and assessment, professional development, early learning, school safety (threat assessments and behaviour), school enrollment, staffing, and administrator growth plans.
