Dr. Pam Stangeland has been selected as the shared superintendent for the Nodaway Valley Community School District and CAM Community School District.
On April 7, three finalist candidates participated in interviews with panels consisting of community members, staff and students from both districts. Final interviews were then conducted by the Nodaway Valley and CAM boards of education. Stangeland’s impressive qualifications and leadership experience quickly brought her to the forefront of the selection process.
“Our boards believe that Dr. Stangeland’s ability to connect and serve our communities will be invaluable. We feel that Pam has a lot of wonderful attributes and qualifications that will make her an asset for our districts’ unique needs. We are excited for this opportunity and look forward to fully welcoming her to our NV and CAM families” Board Presidents Cara Murphy and Kristen Jensen said in a statement.
Stangeland earned her Doctor of Education degree from Drake University in May 2024. She holds a master’s degree in educational leadership (2007), a special education teaching license and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and communication, all from Iowa State University. She serves as associate superintendent for the Boone Community School District, a role she has held for the past three years. Prior to that, she worked as director of special education for the Fort Dodge Community School District and served as a regional administrator for Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency.
“I am honored and excited to join the educational teams at Nodaway Valley and CAM Community School Districts,” Stangeland said. “Through the interview process, it became very clear to me that both districts have a rich history of excellence, a genuine commitment to students, and a strong sense of family for all. I immediately felt at home and knew I wanted to be part of these vibrant and caring communities.”
