Starting July 21, she will replace Matt Kuhn, who is leaving Thompson, the school district announced in a written release on Tuesday.
In her new role, Sain will be in charge of developing and implementing the district’s strategic vision for technology and facilitating the integration of digital tools into the curriculum.
She currently holds the position of director of educational technology at Jeffco Public Schools in Golden and previously served as the director of educational technology and director of STEM for the Boulder Valley School District.

“I am thrilled to join the innovative Thompson team,” Sain said in a written release. “In my interview, I felt collaboration, connections and positivity at all levels. The energy and focus on students was one of the reasons this opportunity spoke to me.”
She also said she looks forward to learning about the “many successes” of the district and the technology team.
