Beautiful Plains School Division Board of Trustees
It is with pleasure that the Board of Trustees for the Beautiful Plains School Division (BPSD) is announcing the hiring of two new administrative team members.
The Board of Trustees is excited to introduce our new Secretary-Treasurer. Shannon Bayes, CPA, MBA is joining our team from Meighen Haddad Law Office, where she was the Business Manager since 2010. The majority of her professional experience comes from working in financial and human resource roles at Meighen Haddad LLP and Maple Leaf Foods.
She earned her Professional Accountant Designation through CGA Manitoba in 1999 and continued her studies through Laurentian University, where she achieved her Masters in Business Administration in 2010. Shannon joined the Division May 1, 2016 and will commence her duties as Secretary-Treasurer as of June 1, 2016.
Shannon, her husband Darcy and their two sons, Logan (13) and Kirk (7) live in Rapid City. Both Shannon and Darcy were raised on a farm and have been part of the Rapid City and Minnedosa communities since childhood.
Shannon is looking forward to the new challenge and becoming part of the Beautiful Plains team. She will replace Gord Olmstead, who is retiring after 26 years of dedicated service to BPSD as Secretary-Treasurer.
After several years of discussion and evaluation, the Board of Trustees is also pleased to introduce the position of Assistant Superintendent to the administrative team. This new position will assist the administrative and teaching staff in our school division in continuing to deliver high quality and relevant education to our students.
We are excited to introduce Krista Reynolds as the first Assistant Superintendent in the division. She comes to us from Rivers Elementary School, where she has been principal for the last four years. She also has experience as a classroom teacher, literacy facilitator, alternative language teacher, guidance counselor and university instructor.
Krista has obtained a Bachelor of Education and a Post Baccalaureate in Education from the University of Manitoba and is currently working towards her Masters of Education in Administration at Brandon University. Krista will commence her duties as Assistant Superintendent on Aug. 8, 2016.
Krista, her husband Chris and their two children, Kylie and Braden live in the Municipality of North Cypress-Langford.
Krista is extremely excited about the new challenge and working with the Beautiful Plains team and the communities and students we serve.
The Board of Trustees is looking forward to working with Shannon and Krista. We are excited to see what they will bring to BPSD as we learn and grow together.
