Superintendent Dawn Tarzian announced today that Kevin Bogatin will become the district's new assistant superintendent on July 1. He succeeds Jeanne Holmes who is retiring at the end of June after 20 years with the Corvallis School District.
Bogatin is currently an administrator at Lebanon High School. He has worked in the Lebanon School District for seven years and was the principal of Green Acres Elementary School for six years before going to the high school.
Prior to living in Lebanon, Bogatin was principal of a private K-8 school in Lake Oswego. He has five years of teaching experience at elementary schools in Chandler, Ariz. and Beaverton.
A 1995 graduate of the University of Northern Iowa with a bachelor of arts in elementary education, Bogatin also has a master's degree in education administration.
Superintendent Tarzian reported the district was lucky to have had several strong candidates express interest in the assistant superintendent position.
"Kevin impressed the interview committee with his deep understanding of how to address the learning needs of children who excel in their achievement, as well as those who are struggling to learn key concepts," she said. "He has practical experience across the K-12 continuum and will bring to the position enthusiasm, new ideas, and a strong work ethic."
