Kristin Waters, the principal of Bruce Randolph School who helped usher in the first autonomous school in the state, is leaving her post to take on a newly created administrative position: assistant to the superintendent for reform and innovation, according to a news release issued late Tuesday.
“Bruce Randolph School has benefited greatly from Kristin’s passion and expertise over the past four years,” said DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg in a news release. “I look forward to working with her to accelerate our district’s reforms and to give other DPS schools the benefit of her leadership and vision.”
In her new post, Waters will be involved in efforts to ensure that DPS is a national leader in education policy, reform and innovation, the release said. Waters also will oversee the district’s New Schools Office on the strategic development of new schools and work closely with chief academic officer Ana Tilton.
“The decision to leave Bruce Randolph is a difficult one,” said Waters. “All of my passion and energy has gone into our students and their success over the past four years. It has been the most challenging and most rewarding experience of my career, but I am ready to make a difference on a larger scale. I feel that what I accomplished at Bruce Randolph will inform the acceleration of the reforms of the Denver Plan throughout Denver.”
