At a special Board of Education meeting on March 25, Auburn Career Center proudly announced the appointment of Jason Crowe as its new Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer, effective August 1, 2026.
Crowe brings extensive experience in career-technical education, school finance, and district leadership.
He most recently served as Executive Director of Human Resources and Operations for Rocky River
City Schools, where he demonstrated strength in financial oversight, strategic planning, and operational
leadership, skills that will directly support and advance Auburn’s Mission.
In his role as Treasurer/CFO, Crowe will oversee all financial operations of the District and work
collaboratively with Auburn’s leadership team to ensure resources are aligned to support student success
and high-quality career-technical education programs. In addition, he will oversee business operations,
including directing the day-to-day functions of facilities, safety, and maintenance to ensure a safe,
efficient, and supportive learning environment.
Crowe also brings valuable experience as a former Career-Technical Planning District (CTPD) Director,
providing a deep understanding of regional collaboration and workforce development that will be
instrumental as Auburn continues to grow and evolve.
“I am honored and excited to join Auburn Career Center,” said Crowe. “I look forward to becoming
part of the Auburn community and working alongside the Board of Education, leadership team, staff,
and community partners to serve the students and families of Lake and Geauga counties. Auburn has a
strong reputation for excellence, and I am eager to contribute to that continued success.”
Superintendent Dr. Joe Glavan expressed enthusiasm for the appointment.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Jason to Auburn Career Center. His background in career-
technical education, combined with his proven leadership in finance and operations, makes him an
outstanding addition to our team. His past administrative experience in career-technical education and
his tenure as Principal of Mentor High School will be invaluable as we collaborate to expand
opportunities, strengthen regional workforce development efforts, and lead Auburn’s next stage of
growth for Northeast Ohio students.”
Board of Education President Roger Miller also shared his support.
“The Board is confident that Jason Crowe is the right leader to guide Auburn’s financial and
operational future. His experience, vision, and commitment to student success align perfectly with our
mission. We are excited about the impact he will have on our District and the communities we serve.”
