Heading the district will be Lisa Sherick.

“Mrs. Sherick comes to the district with a unique background of education, experience, and skill sets,” the district said in a news release.

She earned an advanced educational degree of education specialist from Idaho State University in 2008 and is currently serving as assistant superintendent and director of student services in Idaho Falls School District 91.
