A Message from Dave Demler,
Regional Superintendent of Schools

John MeixnerOn behalf of the ROE26 team, welcome. Having served this region for more than a decade, I am honored to lead this office as your Regional Superintendent. While our foundation is strong, I am energized to begin this next chapter of service to our schools and communities.

While we will always stay true to our motto, 'Champion Our Community,' we are entering a season of intentional growth. My goal is to ensure ROE26 is the best possible support system for our districts. That means being smart with our resources, steady in our daily work, and deeply invested in the success of every student, educator, and family we serve.

We are committed to being more than just a resource; we are your partners in excellence. Welcome to the next chapter of ROE26.
