WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The West Seneca Central School District officially has a new leader.
Dr. Lisa Krueger was sworn in as superintendent on Tuesday night.
This change in leadership comes after nearly 50 positions were cut throughout the district due to a multi-million dollar deficit in next year's budget.
“I'm incredibly disappointed in the elected representatives of our school district. They chose to take positions away from employees, from children and families who pay taxes,” said Casey Frank, a teacher aid at West Seneca Central School District.
Dr. Krueger has 23 years of experience as an educator and an administrator.
She tells 7 News she plans to build relationships and get to know her neighbors in West Seneca.
"First and foremost, what's important to me is building relationships with the stakeholders here in the community," Krueger said. "It's important I understand this community, what the community values so I can best serve and be reflective of those community values."
Dr. Krueger comes from the Newfane School District. She previously served as superintendent of that school for nine months.
