Bob Duke will return to Lowell Elementary School as interim principal this fall. Duke, a retired principal, stepped in last school year on an interim basis at Lowell during the illness of Principal Bob Dahl, who died in the spring after 15 years at the school.
Despite a recruiting effort, the district could not find a candidate ready to lead Lowell permanently. The district will hire a dean of students to provide administrative assistance to Duke and will continue to keep the permanent principal job posted and open.
