MTN recently had a chance to talk with Matt Jensen, who was selected by the school board on February 5, 2024, to become KPS superintendent. He's currently the assistant superintendent for KPS after being involved in the Bigfork school system for 17 years.

Jensen — who will transition into the superintendent position on July 1 — tells us that once he takes over leadership, he hopes to prioritize the budget, facility upgrades and overcrowding, curriculum, and building a relationship with partner districts.
