Following a comprehensive recruitment and rigorous interview process, the Lincoln County R-III Board of Education and Superintendent Frederickson are pleased to announce the approval of Dr. Megan Crawmer as the incoming Director of Finance. Dr. Crawmer will have the opportunity to collaborate with Assistant Superintendent of Operations Dr. Jeff Levy before his retirement at the end of June and will officially transition to her new role on July 1, 2026. 

The new Director of Finance position was presented to the Board of Education in September as an opportunity to support the impact of the changing financial landscape at the state and federal level and to allow a dedicated focus on District finances. 

In the 2026-2027 school year, the Director of Finance will be responsible for overseeing and managing District financial operations. To keep administrative costs neutral, Dr. Crawmer’s current position, Director of Assessment and Programming, will not be refilled.   The programs she currently oversees will be reassigned amongst existing District administrators.

Dr. Crawmer holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri-Columbia, a Master of Educational Leadership from William Woods University in 2007, and a Doctorate of Educational Leadership from Maryville University in 2015. An alumna of Troy Buchanan High School, Dr. Crawmer returned to LCR3 to begin her educational career in 2003. She has served as an elementary teacher, assistant principal, principal, and, most recently, a director. In each role, her fiscal responsibility and budgeting awareness grew, and her most recent role required her to understand, manage, and oversee the District’s Federal funds, giving her a unique perspective in this new position. 

Superintendent Frederickson noted, “LCR3 has a history of strong financial leadership and fiscal responsibility. I have every confidence that Dr. Crawmer will continue this legacy. I am thankful to our Board of Education for allowing the opportunity to restructure once it was identified that Dr. Crawmer would be the best candidate for this position.”
