Excited but nervous are the two words that Gord Wood uses to describe his reaction to his new duties with Mountain View School Division.
Wood was recently hired as the division's new Assistant Superintendent of Programs and Planning.
A teacher and administrator for 29 years, including the past 18 with MVSD, Wood feels that experience will benefit him in his new position.
"Having been an administrator and a teacher at all three levels of the education system - with early years, middle years, and at the senioir high - all of those experiences and the relationships that I built with staff. Also my community connections - all of those pieces will be an asset to the division."
Wood admits he is going to miss being in schools and talking to students on a day-to-day basis.
Wood will oversee Student Services, Curriculum and Planning, and the divisional library system.
He will also assist the Superintendent in areas like staffing and hiring.
