Meet D60s new Superintendent [Video]

(PUEBLO, Colo.) — With the new school year also comes a new Superintendent for Pueblo School District 60 (D60).

Dr. Barbara Kimzey was welcomed to the district with a meet and greet Thursday afternoon, Aug. 1. Superintendent Kimzey shared her vision and goals for the school year, such as a focus on strong daily attendance through a social media campaign called “Be Present, Be Powerful.”

Kimzey said she hopes to build on past successes of the district, while creating new opportunities for the growth and development of the district and its students.

“So I was actually a kid who struggled in school,” said Kimzey. “I hated school. I didn’t read well, and I just told myself, I want to make school a place that’s way better for kids than it ever was for me.”

Her new position at D60 is one that she hopes can help her achieve that goal.
