WAUKESHA — The Board of Education approved hiring Jennifer Gennerman as the next deputy superintendent in the School District of Waukesha.

Gennerman will replace Dr. Joe Koch, who announced his departure earlier in the year after being named the next superintendent of the Mukwonago Area School District.

She has also been a special education teacher and instructional coach.

Gennerman earned a B.A. in special education from UW-Oshkosh, a Master of Education in curriculum and instruction from Carroll University, and she completed the Superintendent Licensure Program at Concordia University.

“Jennifer has excelled in her current role in the School District of Waukesha and built solid relationships while enhancing data literacy with our administrative team. She is a positive and dedicated leader,” the district said in a statement.
