Sarah Crum has been appointed Director of Learning and Innovation for the Champlain Valley School District (CVSD). Ms. Crum replaces Jeff Evans, who is retiring at the end of this school year. Sarah will begin her leadership duties on July 1, 2022.
Superintendent Rene Sanchez shared, “Sarah’s experience as an English teacher, special educator, and special education director will prove to be a valuable resource for the Champlain Valley School District. Literacy, instructional techniques, and inclusivity are always among the most important current focus areas of school districts. Sarah’s background will help Champlain Valley’s already innovative work progress even further.”
Sarah graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University with degrees in English and Special Education. She holds a Master of Education in Curriculum & Pedagogy from the University of Colorado. She earned her Special Education Administrator Licensure with a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies from St. Michael’s College.

Prior to that, she was a special educator at Champlain Valley Union High School, and an English teacher in Telluride, Colorado.
The Director of Learning and Innovation will collaborate with the directors of Student Support Services and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in CVSD. In addition to curriculum, instruction, and assessment, the Director of Learning & Innovation oversees the English Language Learner (ELL) program, instructional coaches and coordinators, the faculty and staff mentor programs, and manages the Consolidated Federal Grants and ESSER grants. The Director also leads Continuous Improvement planning, COVID recovery planning, and helps ensure compliance with Vermont Education Quality Standards and Acts 77 & 173.
