Earlier this month, Lisa Kvistad took the reins as the Madison Metropolitan School District's interim superintendent as Dr. Carlton Jenkins' time with the district comes to an end.

Jenkins previously said he was retiring but has since been named a finalist to lead Memphis-Shelby County Schools in Tennessee.

Kvistad, a longtime MMSD employee, retired in 2020. In mid-April, the district's school board announced it would hire her as the interim leader as it searches for a permanent superintendent.

In a wide-ranging interview with News 3 Now's Naomi Kowles, Kvistad discussed her priorities while in the role, as well as recent headlines about turmoil within the district's communications department.
