The Nodaway Valley Community School District and the CAM Community School District Boards of Education are pleased to announce that a contract for the shared superintendent position has been offered to Dr. Pam Stangeland.
On April 7, 2025, 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. Dr. 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.
Dr. 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 currently 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.
Reflecting on her appointment, Dr. Stangeland shared: “I am honored and excited to join the educational teams at Nodaway Valley and CAM Community School Districts. 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.”
