Lisa Pearce announced her resignation in October, just a few months after officially starting work. She decided to retire and spend more time with her family and new grandchild. Pearce was initially hired on a temporary basis last December after the district's director of administrative services abruptly resigned. Soon after taking on the job, she discovered that the district was facing multimillion-dollar deficits. Some of these issues were due to accounting errors by previous staff.However, Pearce played a crucial role in helping the school board navigate through the financial crisis and consolidation process last winter. She then took on the job full-time in July and will now help train her replacement. Her experience and expertise will be invaluable in ensuring a smooth transition.In conclusion, the appointment of Nicole Herbert as the new chief financial officer and the departure of Lisa Pearce mark important milestones in the Juneau School District's financial management.
