Jon Rever, who is the current acting deputy superintendent, will take the position on July 1, 2025, bringing 33 years of teaching and administrative experience to the role.
"Jon's unwavering commitment to public education perfectly aligns with the Board of Education's Strategic Plan and our vision of Together We Learn," said Board of Education chair Julia Fraser.
