Megan Blazek has been selected to be the Director of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) at Lakeville Area Schools, pending School Board approval on June 9. This is a new position made possible thanks to grants from the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).
“I am looking forward to learning more about the great teaching and learning experiences educators are providing our students, as well as supporting the academic, social-emotional, and behavior intervention systems,” Blazek said. “My passion lies in meeting students where they are at in their learning and preparing them to have a future filled with joy and wellbeing. Connectedness is one of Lakeville’s greatest qualities and I look forward to being part of the team.”
Blazek has over 15 years of experience in teaching and educational leadership in K-12 public schools. She currently serves as a middle school principal at Farmington Area Public Schools, where she has focused on MTSS. She has also served as an interim principal, assistant principal, dean and science teacher at Eastern Carver County Schools. She started her educational career as a science teacher at Eastern Carver County Schools in 2005.
Blazek has a Bachelor’s of Applied Science degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth, a Master’s of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degree from St. Mary’s University, and a Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership and K-12 Administration from Minnesota State University Mankato.
Blazek is looking forward to giving back to the school community that gave so much to her. Her first experience with Lakeville Area Schools was as a kindergarten student at Orchard Lake Elementary.
Blazek and her husband are proud parents of two school-aged children. In her free time, you can find her at soccer fields and basketball courts cheering her kids on. She also enjoys spending time on the lake fishing, tubing and water skiing.
Pending contract approval, Blazek will begin her employment with Lakeville Area Schools on July 1, 2022.
