Sarah Radcliffe

Chair Elect (2023-25)

I am the Director of Future Ready Learning for the School District of Altoona. In this role, I oversee Technology, Virtual Learning and College and Career Readiness. This is my second year in this role after having served as the Executive Director of Educational Technology for the Chippewa Falls School District from 2017 – 2021.

I have a family of 6. My stepson, Taylor, is 22 and out on his own attending community college to become an EMT / Paramedic and Firefighter. I have 2 kids in middle school and one sophomore in high school. This is my first year with no elementary schoolers!

I am passionate about future ready learning from the standpoint of finding how a child’s passions, aspirations and strengths tie to a career and the technology skills required to make it in today’s workforce. This is why work in ACP and technology tie so well together for me!

I sustain my sanity by spending my free time with my husband and children reading, biking, swimming, boating and playing Pokemon Go. I love to garden and am going to try out my hand at continuing to garden in a WI winter by creating a mini ‘greenhouse’ in my basement. To catch a sunrise or a sunset in any location makes my day a great day!

P.S. My Pokemon Go trainer code is 5002 3594 1519. Hit me up if you play too!

Admittedly, sustainability is more challenging for me personally than it is professionally, which is one reason I’m happy to focus on sustainability this year with WETL. However, there are staples that revive me and that I need to integrate into my life to keep going. The main method for sustainability is being involved with my family and particularly spending time with my two daughters. The pace at which they learn and their perceptions of the world fascinate me. Also, for nearly ten years, I’ve been traveling to the Porcupine Mountains in the middle of November to recharge.

Sarah Lipke

At Large

My professional career has focused on connecting people with questions, to information for answers – ten years as a school library media specialist and the last nine with CESA 10 in Chippewa Falls. Currently, as the Director of Educational Technology, I lead a team of seven to support the full spectrum of school district educational technology – from securing the funding for the district’s internet service and network infrastructure to the classroom integration of technology to support teaching and student learning.

Working with educational technology leaders in districts of all levels of enrollments provides me not only with a broad perspective and range of ideas but also an abundance of connections to make and share with others. These connections are what I find most valuable and readily available to help and support other districts facing similar situations. The action of making these connections is also why I serve not only the WETL Board but also other local and statewide leadership boards on which I serve. .
