Krutzik earned his Doctor of Education degree from Edgewood College in 2020.

NFDL School Board President Steve Hock thanked families, staff and community members for completing a recent survey on the skills, values, experience and priorities they want to see in the next superintendent. 

Priorities for the next superintendent include student achievement, leadership and cultural development, financial stewardship, and student and staff engagement and wellbeing.

“We truly appreciate the community feedback we received as we search for the best person to lead our great district,” Hock said. 

The Board is searching for a new superintendent to succeed Aaron Sadoff, who will become executive director of the Fond du Lac Area Foundation after 16 years with the district as principal and superintendent. The school district hired a CESA 6 team to lead the NFDL Board of Education through search, hiring and onboarding.
