Seattle Public Schools names interim superintendent Brent Jones
The Seattle Public Schools Board of Directors announced its new interim superintendent to replace Denise Juneau, who announced earlier this year she would not renew her contract.
Dr. Brent Jones will begin as the district's interim superintendent no later than July 1. The district said he will remain superintendent until June 30, 2022 as the school board conducts a search for a full-time candidate.
Juneau's contract as Seattle Public Schools superintendent concludes June 30.
“This is a great outcome for SPS students and families," said Chandra Hampson, Seattle Public Schools Board President. "The selection of Dr. Jones brings needed stability and connectivity to Seattle Public Schools during this time of uncertainty and transition. He is an experienced district leader with a proven track record supporting students, community and staff of color, while striving for overall operational excellence. It is a most critical set of skills at this difficult time.”
