“I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to serve public education in KPRDSB and to have shared this journey with such a wonderful community of students, staff, families and partners,” said Russo in an Update for Families.

She highlighted that the “KPR spirit” both humbled and inspired her during her tenure as Director.

“Throughout years of challenge and change, I have remained in awe of our students,” Russo reflected in her final Annual Report. “Their passion, brilliance and energy are the heartbeat of our board; they are the reason we do this work and they continue to be my greatest source of inspiration.”
