Superintendent

David Buck is the superintendent. He began serving as the district's superintendent on July 1, 2020.[2] Previously Emily Miller served as the district's interim superintendent.[3]

Dennis L. Carpenter served as superintendent of the District from July 1, 2017, to July 23, 2019. He resigned amid racial-equity policy disagreements between himself and entities in the Lee's Summit community.[4] Upon his exit from the school board, the District paid $750,000 to Carpenter as part of his negotiation to step down as superintendent. Carpenter was the first black superintendent of the Lee's Summit R-VII School District.[2]
