Jason Neville has hit the ground running as the new director of education at the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) to kick off the new school year.
Neville’s first day on the job was Aug. 1 after accepting the leadership position back in May to the delight of board chair, David Thompson.
“Jason will bring a fresh perspective and new leadership qualities to the division office; this, coupled with leveraging the experience of the current LPSD team, will only enhance public education in our community,” said Thompson in a statement.
Neville arrives in Lloydminster as an experienced educator and leader who succeeds directors Scott Wouters and Todd Robinson.
Previously, Neville worked at the Horizon School Division in Humboldt, Saskatchewan as its superintendent of student supports.
During his tenure, he led the implementation of violent risk protocols and mental health frameworks in schools.
In his role as superintendent, he worked as a leader and team member on a division and provincial level while also actively supporting school-based administration.
Neville has held principal and vice-principalships and began his career as a classroom teacher.
He received his bachelor of education from the University of Saskatchewan and a master of educational studies from the University of Alberta.
