Warrick County superintendent picked for top position at Colorado school corporation

WARRICK COUNTY, Ind. — Warrick County School Corporation Superintendent Todd Lambert was selected as the new superintendent of a school corporation in Colorado on Thursday night.

Lambert, who started his job in Warrick County in July 2020, was named superintendent at Littleton Public Schools in Littleton, Colorado. Prior to accepting the job in Warrick County, Lambert was working in the Poudre School District in Colorado, as an interim superintendent.

According to the LPSC website, in its minutes from a school board meeting Thursday, the board voted unanimously to hire Lambert pending contract negotiations. It also authorized the board president and legal counsel to oversee those.

Lambert confirmed to the Courier & Press he has accepted the position pending contract negotiations.

"We hope to conclude the negotiations by mid-March," he said.

Littleton's current superintendent plans to retire at the end of the 2022-23 school year.

The website states Lambert was one of two finalists in what was a five-month search, according to the district. Both he and the other finalist had interviews Feb. 22. The interviews were conducted in open session and live-streamed.

He also had a visit to the Colorado corporation Feb. 6.

Lambert has ties to both Indiana and Colorado, moving to the latter for the 2010-2011 school year. Before then Lambert worked as the assistant superintendent for Westfield Washington Schools in Hamilton County, Indiana.
