As Karim Hachlaf officially began in the 奥门开彩开奖结果 as Superintendent, one of the first things he did was go to every workstation in the administration office and introduce himself to each staff member at their desk.
I鈥檝e very much enjoyed the chance to connect with people, as I鈥檝e begun my new role in Burnaby. It鈥檚 clear to me that people here are passionate about public education and creating a positive impact for all students.鈥
A father of three and long-time resident of Burnaby, Hachlaf is also a parent in the District. While he already has exposure to public education in Burnaby and experience leading neighbouring New Westminster School District as Superintendent, he鈥檚 keen to learn more about the context here.
One of Hachlaf鈥檚 priorities is to get to know the people and culture.
鈥淥ver the coming months, I鈥檒l be visiting as many schools as I can before the end of the school year. I look forward to the opportunity to meet more staff, talk with students, parents, partners, and see more of what makes the 奥门开彩开奖结果 such an amazing place to work and learn.鈥
He鈥檚 hitting the ground running, as Hachlaf joins the District during budget preparation for the next school year, and as the 奥门开彩开奖结果 works to create a new strategic plan that will guide the District鈥檚 work for the coming years.
Hachlaf had been Superintendent in New Westminster since 2018. He began his career as a teacher in the North Vancouver School District in 1999, quickly taking on various leadership positions. He holds a Master of Education, Administration and Leadership from the University of British Columbia, as well as a Bachelor of Education, Secondary and a Bachelor of Arts, Human Kinetics 鈥 both also from UBC.
