Martin (pronounced Marteen).  Dr. Martin will officially begin work July 1, 2012.  Please see her biography (PDF link).  Dr. Martin is also fluent in Spanish and her 9 year old daughter will attend our schools.  Truly the superintendent search advisory committee's recommendations were paramount to the board in her selection.  Thanks to all for their hard work.
