Remember this?
Following former Superintendent Barry Edwards' retirement in June, trustees selected Lee as interim in July and named her the lone finalist in the search for a new superintendent in November.
In their own words
"I am very humbled to be entrusted to be your superintendent," Lee said. "I just thank you for your confidence in me, for your support, and encouragement during this entire interim period."
