With the new school year comes a brand new episode of the Supe’s On! podcast with Dr. Cook! In this episode, our Superintendent sits down with Deputy Superintendent Lisa Birk. Dr. Birk is new to this role but has been a leader in our district for 13 years, including at Bear Creek Elementary, Pacific Crest Middle School and Juniper Elementary.

In their discussion, Dr. Cook and Dr. Birk explore the district’s mission of “educating thriving students” and what that looks like in our classrooms. They also address why Bend-La Pine Schools emphasizes thriving teachers and staff as an essential component of helping students to thrive in our schools.
