BOISE, Idaho — In a school board meeting Tuesday, the Kuna Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of Kuna School District Superintendent Wendy Johnson.
After Johnson's resignation, the board appointed Kim Bekkedahl as the interim superintendent for the 2024-2025 school year.
Johnson shared with the board that she had accepted a position as an area director within the Boise School District for the next school year.
"Superintendent Johnson has done an amazing job leading the district the past 11 years," Chairman Kim Nixon said. "Under her stewardship, Kuna has been a leader in the state in providing educational opportunities for children including full-time everyday kindergarten, a K-12 dual language program and greatly expanded the career technical education choices for our students."
Nixon added that Superintendent Johnson had "excelled in creating partnerships within and outside the district including advancing professional learning communities and an interest-based negotiations process for teacher pay and benefits and supporting community groups around early learning and after-school opportunities in the city."
