Cedar Rapids schools superintendent sets priorities for year
CEDAR RAPIDS — Tawana Lannin — who will continue as superintendent of the Cedar Rapids Community School District on a rolling contract — has set three priorities she plans to deliver on amid the launch of new programs and the closure and consolidation of schools next fall. Cedar Rapids school board President Jen Neumann last month announced Lannin would continue leading the district with no changes to a contract the school board unanimously approved last year. The contract sets the superintendent’s salary at $314,150, plus benefits, for the next year and states that the district will contribute to a tax-sheltered annuity program in an amount equal to 14.6% of the superintendent’s salary. Since joining the district as superintendent in April 2023, Lannin, 51, has focused on increasing academic outcomes, creating safer learning environments and deepening community engagement. During that time, she’s faced scrutiny, but Neumann said it’s made Lannin a stronger leader. “She’s learned our community needs time to process big ideas and to help shape those ideas,” Neumann said. “Not every leader has that level of awareness. It’s something I’ve really appreciated about her.” Under Lannin’s leadership, the district has launched Freshman Academies, building additions at Jefferson and Washington
