Finance Chief Steps Down After Major Reforms | Anchorage News

Nicole Herbert, Juneau School District’s chief financial officer since March 2023, is stepping down to take a new role, with her last day August 5. She’s the third finance officer to leave since 2023 — following Lisa Pearce, whose short tenure uncovered a nearly $10 million deficit that led to school closures. Herbert praised her time at the district, crediting her team for streamlining financial processes and setting the district up for smoother budgeting ahead. Her exit means nearly all top leadership will be new this fall — only operations director Kristy Germain remains unchanged. The superintendent honored Herbert’s contributions, noting her work left the financial structure in strong shape as she and her family return to Fairbanks. The CFO position is already open for applications. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
