Meet Superintendent Dr. Theresa Battle
Dr. Theresa Battle began her position as Superintendent of Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 on July 1, 2019.
“I am excited to be joining the District 191 community to build on the great work that is already being done,” Battle said. “As I've started to get to know the district, it’s clear that there is a deep passion and commitment to success for each student."
Dr. Battle’s previous experience includes district leadership roles in Minneapolis Public Schools and Osseo Public Schools, and most recently as assistant superintendent for St. Paul Public Schools. She started her career in education as a teacher and has also held leadership roles at the school building level and for curriculum and instruction. She holds a doctorate in education and masters of arts degree from the University of Minnesota.
Superintendent's Column
In 2023, in an effort to make public schools work better for everyone, leaders in the Minnesota State Legislature made it clear that education was a top priority and that they intended to take big steps, not little ones. They made good on that intention, and the results will have significant impacts on districts across the state, including Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191.
Residents of Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 are invited to have “Tea with Dr. T” on Wednesday, April 19 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Arise Nicolette Coffee Company in Burnsville’s Heart of the City.
In our schools, student agency is reflected from the youngest grades, such as during the regular Rahn Enrichment Academies, all the way to high school, where student input helped our English department completely reimagine course offerings to grow interest and engagement.
