David Younce, former superintendent of Mill River Unified School District, will be joining the public-health firm AM LLC as senior vice president of K-12 Partnerships.
Younce draws on more than two decades of experience in large suburban and small rural school districts in the Midwest and Northeast in teaching and leadership capacities. His eight-year tenure as superintendent of the Mill River Unified Union School District in southwestern Vermont culminated in him being named Vermont Superintendent of the Year for 2020-21. In 2017, Governor Phil Scott appointed Younce as the sole superintendent in the state to serve on the Vermont Standards Board for Professional Educators.
"While it has been bittersweet to conclude my time at Mill River School District, the pandemic has shown me a lot of interesting things that have led me to the intersection of education and public health at AM LLC," Younce said. "I look forward to joining a team that shares my passion for preserving quality, in-person K-12 learning in school districts across the country.''
