Welcome to Bloomington Public Schools! We are proud to be an educational leader with a focus on learning and a drive to empower students to Dream, Believe, and Achieve.
I feel privileged to be in my fourth year of serving as superintendent. This school district has felt like home for many years. I spent 12 years in Bloomington Public Schools as a special education supervisor, executive director of student services and assistant superintendent. It is humbling and an honor to lead a district I have grown to know and love. Bloomington really is a special place.
Every day I see how our schools are a community and home where everyone is welcome, included, supported and loved. This is a community families choose to be part of. From early childhood through graduation and beyond, we are building future-ready instruction and inclusive spaces to meet the needs of students and prepare them for the future. I believe we have the best staff and the resources needed to provide a quality education. I also see how our families partner with us every step of the way, trusting us to teach their children and help them grow as individuals.
Here in Bloomington we are focused on helping students succeed in a rapidly changing world. We instill confidence for all students to explore their dreams. We empower them to believe in their greatness. I personally believe these two efforts pave the way for all learners to achieve success, as individuals and together.
I invite you to join me in embracing the spirit of “Dream, Believe, Achieve” with open hearts and minds, ready to inspire and be inspired.
Sincerely,
Dr. Eric Melbye
Superintendent of Schools
