North Dakota's governor has appointed Levi Bachmeier '14 to serve as North Dakota's next state superintendent of public instruction. 

That department oversees the education of all K-12 public and nonpublic school students across the state. 

Bachmeier graduated from Concordia with a major in social studies education. He is currently the business manager of West Fargo Public Schools. Prior to that, he was an education policy adviser and policy director for former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. He was also a social studies teacher and acting high school principal on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.   

Bachmeier will replace Kirsten Baesler, who is leaving for a job with the U.S. Department of Education. He will serve as state superintendent through the November 2025 general election.
