The Juneau School District will see more than half of its top leadership positions change this summer as a new superintendent takes over and four other administrators leave.

Shawn Arnold, currently principal at Thunder Mountain Middle School, starts as superintendent July 1. He replaces Frank Hauser, whose last day is June 30 after three years leading the district. Hauser announced his resignation in October 2024.

In addition to a new superintendent, four top district administrators are leaving. One position will be replaced by an assistant superintendent.

The Juneau School Board selected Arnold in March from three finalists. Arnold has worked for the district since 2021. He previously served as superintendent in Valdez and Nome.

The simultaneous departure of more than half the district's leadership team represents significant organizational change for Juneau schools. The district has not detailed which four administrative positions are turning over or when those transitions will occur.
