She has served as superintendent the last six years.
“I want to thank the board, staff, students, families, and community for helping DPS to finally raise its state rating above an F before the COVID-19 disruptions and again, after the pandemic in 2021-22,” said Lolli.
She said when she became superintendent was to “get DPS back on the right” and it despite it being being hard in recent years, she said ‘DPS teachers have stepped, in a letter.
“We have built a strong foundation for progress, and for new leadership to continue the DPS turnaround,” she said. “The community owes our educators and partners in progress a debt of gratitude, and they certainly have mine. The DPS Board of Education now has sufficient time to choose our next leader.”
