KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools Board of Education has named Dr. Alicia Miguel as the interim superintendent, the district announced Friday afternoon.
“The best part about working for this district is the diverse population,” Miguel said in a news release. “This sense of community and the ongoing learning that takes place in this district is what makes it so special.”
Miguel has served several roles in the district since she began working there in June 2012, including director of ESL, executive director for early childhood through fifth grade and, most recently, instructional improvement officer, according to the district.
“I am excited about the role,” Miguel said. “I am hoping to provide strong leadership, continue to build relationships with staff, students and families; looking forward to the challenge and the learning that this will bring. I plan to listen and learn, get to know what people have to offer, think and need."
Last month, former KCKPS Superintendent Dr. Charles Foust left the district for a new job in North Carolina.
