EVERETT — Everett Public Schools has hired Dana Riley Black as its new executive director for STEM, partnerships and legislative affairs.
Black is currently the director of the Logan Center for Education, part of the Institute for Systems Biology. Black also established the University of Washington’s K-12 Institute for Mathematics and Science Education.
Black replaces John Aultman, who has held the position since it was created two years ago. During that time, the district has expanded computer science classes to all high schools, created a robotics club or class for all 26 schools in the district, put 13 technology professionals into high school class rooms as volunteers, and moved toward having the two-year AP Capstone course in all three high schools by the fall of 2016.
