On Monday evening, the Lakewood Board of Education collectively and unanimously removed “interim” from Jodi Duit’s title with full confidence in her ability to lead Lakewood in their mission of preparing students for the future.

Speaking on behalf of the Board, Jamie Brodbeck-Krenz, President stated that "Mrs. Duits brings extensive, successful experience as an elementary school teacher, principal, director of curriculum, instruction, assessment and school improvement, and most recently served as interim superintendent. Mrs. Duits distinguished herself as a dedicated leader and has earned deep respect from her instructional colleagues, administrators, teachers, parents, and students."

More formal communications have been sent to staff and parents.
