Leah Byrd has been the Early Childhood Coordinator for Edina Public Schools since the Fall of 2016.
Leah started her career in education as a Title One teacher in 2000. The following year she moved to a
classroom Kindergarten teacher. Her passion for school readiness, family partnership, emergent literacy
and numeracy, and ensuring young children have a high-quality preschool program led her to transition
to an administrative role overseeing the PreK program for South Washington County schools in 2011.
After 5 years, Leah made a personal move from Woodbury to Edina and joined the leadership team at
Edina Public Schools. Leah holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood
