South Lane School District would like to introduce Dr. Yvonne Curtis as our interim superintendent.
Yvonne served public education in California and Oregon, across urban, suburban and rural communities. For fourteen years, she taught elementary school in California and Oregon, before advancing to middle school assistant principal and elementary principal. While earning her Doctor of Education degree, from the University of Oregon she served the Eugene School District as the Director of Student Achievement before moving on to become the Superintendent in Forest Grove, Oregon. Recently, she led the instructional transformation of Portland Public Schools, as the Deputy Superintendent of Instruction and School Communities, in Portland, Oregon. Yvonne comes with knowledge, experience and expertise in closing achievement and opportunity gaps while ensuring all students experience more rigorous instruction and a broad range of educational experiences.
Welcome to South Lane, Dr. Curtis!

The Board will be selecting up to 15 (both staff and community members) to assist in application screening and the interview process. If interested, complete the following application and return it to the district office by 4pm on November 25th.
Dear South Lane Parents,
Superintendent Larry Sullivan submitted his resignation to the school board November 4th, 2019 due to a serious medical condition. We wish him the very best.
The school board has approved a timeline and proposed a set of qualities and qualifications for an interim superintendent, both of which you can find attached.
Lincoln Middle School went into a lockdown around 7:45 AM this morning after a report there might be a person with a holstered gun close to the school. Staff and students responded quickly and appropriately, our School Resource Officer was there almost immediately, and other law enforcement was there in moments. In an abundance of caution, we asked students and staff to stay in the school where they were while a search and investigation took place. The school was deemed safe by law enforcement at approximately 8:40, and the lockdown ended at that time.
This incident is a reminder that it is always better to err on the side of caution; if you see something, say something.
There were some parents who chose to come and visit with their students, or to take them home for the rest of the day following the lockdown. However, school will remain in session for the remainder of the day. Busses will run as normal.
Our thanks go out to our students and staff for their quick response and following directions, and to law enforcement for their immediate response. It is comforting to know that we know what to do in the event of a real emergency.
