Leanne Emm Named Interim Director Of School Finance
Commissioner
Robert Hammond today announced the appointment of Leanne Emm as interim
director of school finance.
Vody Herrmann, who has served in the position for the past 11 years,
announced her retirement last week. Herrmann will continue to work
alongside Emm through March.
Prior to joining the Colorado Department of Education this month, Emm
worked for Jeffco Public Schools in the areas of budget and finance for
almost 14 years. While at Jeffco, she was involved with federal
programs, pupil counts, debt issuance and system improvements. Previous
to her work with Jeffco schools, Emm worked for Jefferson County Public
Libraries, and also ran the business office and served as the city
accountant for the city of Sheridan. Emm completed her master’s degree
in public administration, with an emphasis in school finance, in 2010.
“I am honored,” said Emm. “Vody has been a tremendous resource for
districts, particularly throughout the legislative process. She provides
excellent customer service and guidance to school districts and I hope
to continue that same level of quality service.”
Commissioner Hammond said the search for a new director is underway.
