Edina Superintendent Welcomes Families Back to School
Edina Public Schools Interim Superintendent Dan Bitman delivered a back-to-school message to families this week, emphasizing his commitment to the district while acknowledging a recent community tragedy.
Bitman, who brings 15 years of superintendent experience to the role, said he has visited every building and classroom throughout the district during the opening week of school. He described seeing students' smiles and energy as the reason educators do their work.
The superintendent acknowledged what he called a "devastating event" that has impacted students, families and staff in Edina and a neighboring community. He did not specify details of the tragedy but assured families that support resources are available through the district office.
Bitman and his wife Julie have moved to Edina, and he encouraged community members to approach them when seen around town. He said he wants to hear residents' stories and learn about ways the district can better support families.
The interim superintendent emphasized that collaboration and partnership between the district and community creates what he called "magic" throughout Edina Public Schools.
