What does it truly mean to be "All In For Aurora"? This week on Leadership Laps, Jesús sits down with Craig Lyle, a 25-year veteran of Aurora Public Schools and an Aurora native, who is just completing his first year as Chief of School Leadership and Support.
From his beginnings as a teacher in APS to roles as dean, assistant principal, principal, operations director, and Chief Operations Officer, Craig's journey is a testament to deep-rooted commitment and versatile leadership. Now, he oversees a complex array of critical district functions, including school performance, behavior supports, athletics, centralized enrollment, safety and security, and compliance.
Tune in to hear Craig discuss how being born and raised in Aurora shapes his perspective, the key learnings from his first year in his current multifaceted role, and the evolution of his leadership across a quarter-century of service. He'll share proud moments, how he's working to bring synergy to diverse teams, and his vision for supporting all APS schools and students on their path to Destination APS.
