Throughout the crisis, he kept the district focused on supporting the district’s more than 90,000 students and nearly 14,000 dedicated teachers and staff. In addition to navigating the circumstances created by the pandemic, Looney placed an emphasis on early childhood reading skills, real-life career experience, STEM innovations, and reducing dropouts.
He continues to foster the creativity and skills that will prepare students for success and implemented strategies to address the learning disruption experienced by students during the pandemic. Setting a course for transformational change, Looney and the district are utilizing the influx of federal funding from the CARES and American Rescue Plan to create literacy programs, professional development for staff and instructional supports.
