“I am excited and honoured to be joining Clearview Public Schools,” says Scot Leys. “I look forward to working collaboratively with the great staff of Clearview to continue to meet the needs of students, parents and communities. I believe that my educational experience in small rural communities will be invaluable in leading Clearview to meet the upcoming challenges in education.
Highlights of his career include creating early intervention programs, renovating a large high school, and creating innovative high school programming. Also he spent the last two years working in a leadership team that focused on creating capacity and success in the area of literacy and numeracy instruction.
