General McLane names new district leader
April 15, 2021
General McLane School District is extremely proud to announce it has selected Matthew Lane to lead the district as its new Superintendent of Schools.
Lane is currently the high school principal at Fairview High School and previously served as Assistant Principal at Fairview High School and Assistant Principal at Fairview Middle School. The General McLane School Board of Education appointed him officially into his new position at its April 14 meeting.
“The chance to be a part of the General McLane school district community as its superintendent is the chance of a lifetime,” Lane said. “And I mean that quite literally—this is not something that happens here very often. It’s an honor and privilege to be only the sixth superintendent in this district and welcomed into this school community.”
Lane joins General McLane with a rich educational background of 26 years of teaching and administrative experience. Lane most recently earned his doctorate degree in educational leadership from the University of Pittsburgh in 2019.
The search for a new superintendent was launched on March 10 and was spearheaded by the General McLane School Board. A collaborative monthlong internal process, it included 10 candidates, all of whom were from outside General McLane. A variety of teachers, staff members, administrators and board members participated through three rounds of interviews.
“We are thrilled with the results of this process,” said General McLane Board President Carrie Crow. “We have the utmost confidence that Matt will lead this district where we need to go.”
Lane said he is most looking forward to being part of a district that has such a strong and positive relationship between its community and schools.
“General McLane is known throughout western Pennsylvania for its all-around excellence as a school district, and that is not an accident—it’s a product of the commitment, talents, and efforts of the teachers, the school staff, board of education, students, and families. As a passionate advocate for public education, I strongly believe that schools should be reflections of the what the community values, and I’m excited to be a part of that here in GM.”
With Lane’s appointment, current Superintendent Rick Scaletta will start his long-delayed retirement by summer.
Scaletta had planned to retire at the end of the 2019-20 school year but remained on the job to lead the district through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lane will begin his transition into his new role this spring with plans to step into the office on July 1.
