Superintendent's Welcome

Dear MMSD Community,

Congratulations on completing the 2022-2023 school year! As you move on to a summer of renewal, I am excited to begin work on Monday as your Interim Superintendent. It is an honor to return to MMSD and partner with all of you to provide the best educational experiences for our students. Congratulations to all of our MMSD graduates, and my best to Dr. Carlton Jenkins as he transitions to his next phase.

As many of you may know, I have had a long and fulfilling career in education in MMSD as a teacher, Elementary Principal, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, State & Federal Program Director, and Assistant Superintendent for Teaching & Learning. I am eager to bring my experiences to this role. I am committed to collaborative relationships and clear communication that supports high-quality education for all of our students.

Finally, I am grateful for the warm welcome that I have already received from many of you. I am excited to return to this community, and look forward to partnering with you in the months ahead.

Thank you for your dedication to our students and district, and have a wonderful summer.

Sincerely,

Lisa M. Kvistad
Interim Superintendent
