Sally L. Smith, The Lab School’s Founder and Director, passed away on December 1, 2007. Upon Sally Smith’s death, Sally Seawright was unanimously appointed by the Board of Trustees of The Lab School of Washington as the Interim Director of The Lab School and Baltimore Lab and will continue in this capacity until July 2009.
The
search for a new Director has begun. Rob Mathias, Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Lab School, is the
Chair of the Search Committee. The Board of Trustees, led by Robert Mathias, has
retained Trina Secor of Carney Sandoe and Associates as the school’s
search consultant.
The search process will continue over the summer and into the fall of 2008. It is expected that a new Director will be named in early 2009 and will begin his or her tenure on July 1, 2009. The school could never replace the unique Sally Smith but is searching for an individual who is committed to the philosophy, mission, and beliefs of The Lab School and who is capable of building on this foundation and moving the almost 42-year old institution into its next exciting phase.
