ASD Superintendent Alan Spicciati said, “Director Baunach brought a strong background of leadership to the board and is committed to Auburn students. I appreciate her passion for an equitable public education for each student.”
Baunach has been actively engaged in the Auburn education community for the last 20 years. She served on several district committees focused on strategic planning, attendance area boundaries and community use of district facilities. She also has been active with Auburn Citizens for Schools, the Auburn Public Schools Foundation, and several PTA groups. She plans to continue to serve the district as a community member.
Baunach has lived in Auburn since 1996. She and her husband Jay have two children who graduated from the Auburn School District. She is the executive director of the Highline Schools Foundation.
The ASD Board of Directors developed a timeline to fill Baunach’s position and will be opening the position today.
