Alicia Storm, currently the Newton Parrish Elementary principal, has been named the next director of multi-tiered systems of support at Owensboro Public Schools.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve OPS as the director of MTSS,” Storm said. “This position combines my passions of instruction and data, along with ensuring student and staff success. Working alongside each of the district school teams to continue our tradition of excellence and innovation will be an honor. It’s an exciting time in OPS with many opportunities in place and on the horizon.”
In her new role as director of multi-tiered systems of support, Storm will implement, manage, and sustain district-wide multi-tiered support systems at all grade levels. This role will continue, revamp, and monitor a framework of strong core instruction and behavior supports on a tiered system to support individualized student success.
Storm has served as principal of Newton Parrish since July 2020. Prior to her time at OPS, Storm served as principal of Wayland Elementary School in Ohio County for 14 years. She began her career as a Spanish teacher at Owensboro Middle and Owensboro High Schools following her college graduation.
Having experience as an elementary principal for several years in different districts is something that OPS Superintendent Dr. Matthew Constant thinks will make the transition to the new role smooth for Storm.
“Alicia will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to her new role in the district,” he said. “She has been a fantastic principal both here at OPS and in Ohio County and her experience in multiple districts will make her a valuable asset to our schools and this work.”
Storm will officially take over her new position on July 1, 2023. She will replace Janie Boarman, who will be retiring at the end of the school year.
The Newton Parrish Site-Based Council will begin the search for a new principal at the school at their meeting in early April.
