Bio
Jennifer V. Kurland
Sarena is a top-notch education professional. As a new Superintendent she worked collaboratively with the board navigating difficult outside political interests to strengthen the District and bring everyone together. We worked closely when I was President of the Board, and she helped facilitate relationships built on trust and mutual respect with the entire board. In just a few years, Sarena led the district to new programs like Early College and International Baccalaureate, and fixed old problems of technology with innovative and cost-effective solutions. She is a leader among leaders and I am proud to know her and have worked with her.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarena on several projects, but none more important and impactful than designing and implementing our county-wide active aggressor training. Organized, creative, thorough, passionate and a great speaker, Sarena has been one of my go to peers ever since that time. If ever she calls, I answer. If ever I’m in need she’s one of my first calls.
