The Bend-La Pine School District has announced Tim Burdsall as the interim principal for North Star Elementary School for the 2023-24 school year. He’s currently the assistant principal.
Here is more from BLP Schools:
Burdsall has been in education for 28 years with the past 11 spent working for the students and families at Bend-La Pine Schools. He served here as a Behavior Specialist, Learning Specialist, and Student Services Coordinator before taking on his most recent role as Assistant Principal at North Star, Bend-La Pine’s newest elementary school.
“I look forward to continuing the great work the North Star community has accomplished since we opened our doors just four years ago,” Burdsall said. “As we build on our four Cs (commitment, compassion, courage, and curiosity), I intend to inspire and model a welcoming environment where all belong and feel safe to grow toward discovering their best selves on this life journey. As we say at North Star, together we shine!”

Elementary school students return to school throughout the district beginning Wednesday, September 6.
Burdsall is replacing Kevin Gehrig, who accepted a leadership position with Jefferson County School District.
