Steve Joel chosen as new superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools
Dr. Steve Joel has been selected as the new superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools by the Lincoln Board of Education.
Joel, 55, has served as superintendent of the Grand Island Public Schools District – with a student enrollment of 8,900 students - for ten years. Previously he was superintendent of Beatrice Public Schools.
The Board of Education voted unanimously to offer the job to Joel contingent on a background check and contract negotiations.
When Joel was in Lincoln for interviews, he talked about the importance of success for every individual student. He also explained that one of his first steps as LPS superintendent would be to build relationships inside and outside the School District.
Don Mayhew, president of the School Board, thanked his colleagues and the community for all the work and effort that went into this search process.
“Hiring a new superintendent is the most important work we have as a School Board,” he said.
Each of the final seven candidates for the superintendent position was interviewed by the School Board as well as committees of: students, parents, LPS employees, community members and the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools. An employee and public forum was also held for each candidate.
