Schmidt Gets Real 

Dr. Jeremy “Will” Schmidt, Superintendent of Becker Public Schools in Minnesota, brings his perspective of more than half a lifetime inside public education. He has been leading successful districts for more than 15 years.  He holds multiple degrees and certifications. 
Kristi “Kitty” Schmidt, a homemaker of 24 years, brings her perspective from outside of it—asking the questions, challenging the jargon, and making him really break down complex issues so not only herself, but also parents, taxpayers, business owners and educators can understand them and make it all make sense.  
Together, they bring transparency, humor, common sense and real conversation to the issues shaping schools today.
They’ve been married for 24 years and have two adult children, Matthew and Piper, and their favorite child, a one year old cavapoo puppy named Quincy. 
They're excited to bring their unique dynamic to the issues affecting public education today.
