In an email to all employees on October 21, 2014, Mr. Dusek wrote, “KPBSD is widely perceived as strong and innovative. I truly believe that. I have been a part of this district for more than 22 years and am deeply committed to our students, staff, community, mission and vision. My wife, Lynn, and I are proud parents of two children who have been in our school system from the start of their public education. Lynn is also a graduate and retired, long-time teacher from our system. We have witnessed first-hand the dedication and effort the KPBSD staff demonstrates on a daily basis to meet the needs of all students. … I believe our district has the will to catch greatness, and as your superintendent, I will work to make that vision a reality, serving every child, every day, for a better tomorrow.”

“I am pleased that the Board has chosen Mr. Dusek to be our district’s interim superintendent,” said Steve Atwater, superintendent. “Sean brings a wealth of knowledge about KPBSD and a good understanding of each of our initiatives to make his transition to superintendent a smooth one.”
