The ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Vianne Kintzinger as Interim Superintendent of Schools for ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ. Vianne will support the district while recruitment for the permanent superintendent is underway.
“Vianne’s experience will be invaluable to us during this significant time of transition for our district”, said Jaclyn Miller. “Her impressive track record ensures that the teams will have the capacity to maintain their excellent work while also benefiting from experienced support and guidance that is readily available.”
Vianne served as Assistant Superintendent and Director of Instruction for Central Okanagan Public Schools, where she led numerous initiatives to support student learning, staff development, and community engagement. She has also held principal and vice-principal positions across various elementary and secondary schools, contributing significantly to their academic and operational success. Her involvement representing the district extended to many committees and partnerships, including BCIT, Okanagan College, University of British Columbia Okanagan, the City of Kelowna, and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Vianne grew up in qathet and is looking forward to returning to the community.
The Board of Education has also recently engaged PFM Executive Search to lead the recruitment process for ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ’s new superintendent. Consultations with key groups will begin immediately with a target to have the candidate profile posted publicly in August.
"We are eager to collaborate with a recruiter like PFM, who has sector-specific experience and a proven track record of placing superintendents within our province," said Miller. "This is a pivotal moment for our district. With Vianne and PFM as partners, we are confident that our well-structured process will ensure success both in the short term and long term”.
