Dayton schools name new deputy superintendent
Lori Ward
Kurt Stanic, city schools interim superintendent, reorganized the central office Tuesday, Aug. 5, by naming a new deputy superintendent and eliminating six unfilled central office jobs.
Stanic named Lori Ward to replace Debra Brathwaite as his chief deputy. Brathwaite left to join former Dayton superintendent Percy Mack as deputy superintendent for him in Columbia, S.C.
Ward came to the district for a career change to be an elementary school math teacher in 1995 after working in systems engineering management for IBM. She became the district’s chief information officer in 1999 and was promoted to chief of business operations earlier this year.
Brathwaite’s duties heading the academic operations will shift to Jane McGee Rafal, who moves from executive director of elementary education to chief academic officer. Rafal and Ward will report to Stanic along with assistant superintendents Jonathan Brown and Rebecca Lowry.
Stanic also announced the elimination of three open administrator jobs — director of early childhood education, executive director of school operations and associate superintendent of humanities. Three open central office clerical jobs also were cuts — a financial clerk, an accounting clerk and an administrative assistant.
“We are streamlining the central office,” Stanic said.
Classes begins Monday in Dayton. Teachers report today for Stanic’s convocation address at 9 a.m. at the University of Dayton Arena.
