CAL Administrator Steve Lane’s career will come full circle next year.
Beginning in the fall, Lane will become the school’s Farm to School advisor, effectively ending his multi-year career as an administrator and superintendent at CAL and throughout Iowa.
The melding of agriculture and education is a nod to Lane’s early career as a farmer. For 14 years, Lane worked as a dairy farmer before the Farm Crisis in the 1980s forced him out of farming. He elected to finish his degree and took his first teaching job in Pomeroy, Iowa in August of 1987 as a physical education and history teacher.
Lane soon ventured into the administration area of education, taking the principal job at Orient-Macksburg in 1993 and eventually becoming the superintendent at the Malvern (Iowa) School District in 1999. Lane spent a year as the superintendent at Maquoketa Valley for a year before removing himself from the position, citing the desire to be at a smaller district that allowed him to be closer to the students.
He found such a wish in CAL, becoming the superintendent for the district in 2005.
