Soldotna, October 23, 2014—At the October 20, 2014, Board of Education meeting, the school board, “unanimously approved a Contract Amendment for the Interim Superintendent.” Thus, current assistant superintendent Sean Dusek will become the superintendent of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District effective December 1, 2014.
Board president Joe Arness said, “The KPBSD school board is proud and happy Mr. Sean Dusek accepted the position of interim superintendent. We consider ourselves fortunate, indeed, to have someone with his credentials and abilities already on staff and ready to assume the leadership of our district.”
In an email to all employees on October 21, 2014, Mr. Dusek wrote, “KPBSD is widely perceived as strong and innovative. I truly believe that. I have been a part of this district for more than 22 years and am deeply committed to our students, staff, community, mission and vision. My wife, Lynn, and I are proud parents of two children who have been in our school system from the start of their public education. Lynn is also a graduate and retired, long-time teacher from our system. We have witnessed first-hand the dedication and effort the KPBSD staff demonstrates on a daily basis to meet the needs of all students. … I believe our district has the will to catch greatness, and as your superintendent, I will work to make that vision a reality, serving every child, every day, for a better tomorrow.”
“I am pleased that the Board has chosen Mr. Dusek to be our district’s interim superintendent,” said Steve Atwater, superintendent. “Sean brings a wealth of knowledge about KPBSD and a good understanding of each of our initiatives to make his transition to superintendent a smooth one.”
