WBSD Weekly Update
At the June 8 Board of Education meeting, the Board approved Dr. Johanna Mracna as the Deputy Superintendent of Talent Management and Development.
Dr. Mracna has served WBSD for the past four years and has made a strong impact through her leadership, work ethic, and commitment to our students, staff, and families. We wish her continued success as she steps into this new role.
This transition follows the retirement of Deputy Superintendent of Talent Management and Development Eric Whitney. As we continue to review our budget and staffing structures, we are pausing the filling of the Assistant Superintendent of School Administration and Innovation position at this time. This will allow us to evaluate our needs, monitor how the new structure works, and make thoughtful decisions that support our students and the long-term financial health of the district.
I am also excited to share that the Board approved Megan Hrycaj as the new Assistant Principal at West Bloomfield High School.
Megan rose to the top of a strong candidate pool and brings a deep commitment to WBHS, our students, and the greater Laker community. She has been a dedicated teacher at WBHS. She is also a respected teacher leader who has built strong relationships and consistently stepped up in support of students, staff, and the school community.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Mracna and Megan Hrycaj on their new positions.
