On Thursday night, after a thorough discussion, the LakeVille Community School’s Board of Education selected Dr. James Yake to be the next Superintendent of Schools pending the successful negotiation of his contract. Dr. Yake is currently the Director of Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Genesee Intermediate School District. It was Dr. Yake’s approachability, capacity for hard work, ability to find creative solutions, and demonstrated dedication to the success of any organization he has worked, that became the deciding factor for many Board members.
Tim Stein, Regional President for Michigan Leadership Institute commented, “It was the Board’s focus on the selection process that led them to their choice and what they feel is the best fit for their district. They started with sixteen candidates and through the screening, interview, stakeholder feedback process, and site visit that led to Dr. Yake’s selection.”
