Updated, 11:32 a.m., to clarify that many existing SDE staff will be kept on.

State superintendent-elect Debbie Critchfield announced her transition team Tuesday, just one week after her election win.

The 22-member group will aid Critchfield as she prepares to take over for two-term superintendent Sherri Ybarra in January.

They’ll assist in hiring or retaining around 130 staffers at the State Department of Education. Many existing staff will be kept on, according to Critchfield’s team.

They’ll also revise the K-12 budget and shape policies around the superintendent-elect’s campaign priorities.

“This transition committee is a great representation of the many perspectives supporting K-12 education in Idaho, including parents, teachers, school leaders, legislators, business leaders, and other community leaders,” Critchfield said in a Tuesday news release. “I am so pleased they are willing to serve in this effort to support Idaho kids and families as we build the Department prepared to support and sustain great schools.”

The announcement comes days after Critchfield announced the hires of former gubernatorial aide Greg Wilson as her chief of staff, and Idaho school administrator Ryan Cantrell as deputy state superintendent.

Critchfield has not been shy about her criticisms of Ybarra’s leadership over the past eight years, and her fast-paced transition is markedly different from Ybarra’s own drawn-out process in 2014.

The team includes three lawmakers on Statehouse education committees – Sen. Dave Lent, R-Idaho Falls, and Reps. Julie Yamamoto, R-Caldwell, and Judy Boyle, R-Midvale – alongside State Board of Education president Kurt Liebich and a handful of local educators and school leaders.

The team includes three parent representatives.
