BREAKING: The Douglas County school board voted 4-3 Tuesday to hire Erin Kane as the next school district superintendent.
Kane is currently the executive director of schools for American Academy, and she previously served as the interim superintendent for the Douglas County School District from 2016 to 2018.
Board member David Ray then motioned to name Danny Winsor the sole finalist for the superintendent position. That motion was seconded by board member Elizabeth Hanson, but then defeated in a 3-4 vote. "I think they both have heart... however, one was more confident, courageous and not afraid to challenge the narrative," said Winegar."While we can't go wrong with Danny, I will be voting for Erin."
Following the vote, Kane was brought up via Zoom and allowed to speak. She began by thanking the board and Danny Windsor, then addressed the conflict in the district — which was highlighted throughout the meeting in both the public comment and during the board's discussion.
