She then moved to Greenwich, Conn., where she served as an Instructional Leader and Principal. After a short time in suburban education, Dr. Rau returned to her urban roots in New Haven, Conn., where she was the Executive Director of Schools PreK-12 before being named Superintendent of the School District of Lancaster in July 2015.
