SUMMARY

The Park School, a PK-12, independent day school located on 100 acres in Baltimore, celebrates core values rooted in the progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey. At Park, there is an unshakable belief in children’s capacity to enjoy learning, to act rationally, and to grow when inspired by highly qualified, caring teachers. A fundamental commitment to inclusiveness and equity guides all programs and activities. Building on that commitment, the school recently developed a comprehensive anti-racist action plan shaped by students, alumni, parents, and employees.

Since the pandemic, Park has seen an increased reliance on technology services and enterprise applications. Because Park does not expect this demand to subside post-pandemic, the leadership team has created a new director-level position, director of IT and information services (DITIS), to oversee support services, all back-end technology operations, as well as the school’s enterprise data / systems environment. In parallel, the school created a new instructional technology position (director of library services and instructional technology) that, along with the DITIS and two associate heads of school, will form a new Technology Cabinet. This collaborative model of technology governance aligns with Park’s approach to shared leadership and consensus-driven decision making. The director of IT and information services starts July 1, 2021 and reports to the associate head of school for finance and operations.
