Lincoln County School District has announced key leadership changes for the upcoming 2025-26 year aimed at improving organizational efficiency and strengthening district-wide support.

With the retirement of Assistant Superintendent Susan Van Liew, LCSD is streamlining central office responsibilities by naming Dr. Tiana DeVries as Deputy Superintendent of Human Resources and Aaron Belloni as Deputy Superintendent of Student Services.

Dr. DeVries will continue to lead Human Resources and will now provide principal evaluations and provide support in bond communication. Mr. Belloni will oversee LCSD athletics, secondary programs, and student services, while also working closely with the HR department on investigations, the complaint process, and staff support.

In addition to new duties, some responsibilities previously held by Van Liew — such as program supervision of Safety, Oregon Department of Education’s Integrated Guidance, and roles like Civil Rights Coordinator — have been reassigned to other district administrators.

Two school-level leadership changes are also taking place:

• Becca Bostwick, former Taft Elementary principal, will move to Yaquina View Elementary, following the retirement of Kristin Becker.
• Leslie Roache has been named principal of Taft Elementary School.

“These changes are part of our ongoing work to ensure all schools and departments are well-supported,” said Superintendent Dr. Majalise Tolan.
