Laura Batson/Credit: USD 409
(KAIR)--The new Superintendent for the Atchison Public Schools is on the job.
According to a release from Atchison's USD 409, Laura Batson officially began her time in the role last Tuesday, July 1, at that time issuing a social media video to introduce herself to the community, and to express her excitement for the start of her new position.
Batson was unanimously approved as superintendent during an April special meeting of the Board of Education for Atchison's USD 409.
She steps into the new position after serving as the Director of Teaching and Learning at USD 453 Leavenworth, her position at the time of her Atchison hiring.
Batson was selected from a pool of three finalists for the position, which fills the vacancy created through the March resignation of former Superintendent Dr. Renee Nugent to take a state education position.
