The MPSD Board of Education is pleased to announce that Lee Thennes, a veteran MPSD teacher, principal and administrator, has been selected as the district's next Superintendent. The Board appointed Thennes as Interim MPSD Superintendent last September, and he was one of three finalists who interviewed last Friday with Board members and two panels composed of parents, staff, students and community members. The Board is finalizing its contract with Thennes and plans to vote on his hiring at its April 29 meeting.

A community Facilities Advisory Committee is meeting monthly from February 2025 through fall 2025 to develop recommendations to the Board of Education for a long-term district master facilities plan. The Board sought volunteers and 45 residents offered to serve. Keep up-to-date by visiting our Facilities Planning website here.
