Kelli Hawkins Named to Fill Shandy's Seat | Colorado Springs News

Academy District Twenty’s Board of Education has unanimously chosen Kelli Hawkins to fill the vacant seat left by Amy Shandy, beating out two other strong contenders. A longtime parent and current board member at The Classical Academy, Hawkins brings nonprofit and event planning experience to the table—and she’s been a Colorado Springs resident for over 20 years. She’ll serve the remainder of Shandy’s term while helping lead the search for a new superintendent. All candidates agreed on key priorities like trusting experts for security and sticking to collective board decisions—so it’s clear the board was impressed with everyone. Now, Hawkins steps into a pivotal role as the district moves forward with leadership transitions and community-building efforts.
