Superintendent

Dr. Marc Schaffer

Dear Thompson Community,

I could not be more pleased and honored to be serving as your Superintendent of Schools. My commitment to the district and to all of you is to serve each student, staff member, our communities and the Board of Education in a way that honors our excellent traditions, as well as keeping an eye toward our growth and future needs. This is an exciting challenge and one that I fully dedicate and embrace.

I commit to being student centered and student focused. I will always take the time to listen to all stakeholders and do my very best to be responsive and caring. School districts exist to serve students and their needs—I will never lose sight of this.

I have proudly dedicated my entire professional career to public education for over 30 years. I have served in a wide array of teaching and leadership capacities and have acquired a broad and diverse skill set centered on serving students, being responsive to communities and having an unwavering commitment to equity and diversity.

Please know that above all, I value relationships and working with people. I will take the time to listen and understand. Relationships are built on trust, and as your superintendent, I will continue to earn your trust by being visible and responsive to the needs of our students.

I look forward to continuing the exciting work that lies before us. Thompson School District is a world-class organization with remarkable students, a talented and dedicated staff, an extraordinarily supportive Board of Education and engaged and vibrant communities.

Sincerely,
Dr. Marc Schaffer
