Superintendent Report Highlights


Dr. Hines was drawn to St. Louis Park Public Schools because of its mission: to see, inspire, and empower each learner to live their brilliance in an environment that centers student voice and experience. As the new superintendent, she shares a personal commitment to listen deeply, learn continually, and ask thoughtful questions about what’s working and what isn’t, so we can further the mission.


This year, she will lead with “B to the third power: Been, Being, and Becoming.” This concept encapsulates our journey together: where we have been, how we are being, and what we are becoming.


The structure of school board meetings is changing. There will continue to be two meetings each month. The first meeting, study session, on the second Tuesday of each month will be an informal meeting geared to inform and share information between school board and cabinet members. No action or votes will be taken during these study sessions. The meetings are to prepare school board members to take action on items brought forward at the regular business meetings. This meeting will be livestreamed. 


Dr. Hines also shared some of the great happenings within the district! You can see highlights on her Instagram at @slp.supts!
