San Francisco Schools Appoint McGraw-Hill Executive as Superintendent
After an extensive six-month search, the San Francisco School District has appointed Carlos Garcia, former Vice President of Urban Markets at McGraw-Hill, as the new Superintendent. This decision comes after interim Superintendent Gwen Chan announced in January that she would not continue in the role.
Experience and Accomplishments
Carlos Garcia was chosen for his comprehensive experience and notable successes in other districts. Previously, he served as Superintendent in both Fresno, California, and Clark County, Nevada. Garcia's tenure as principal of Horace Mann Middle School in San Francisco from 1988 to 1991 saw significant improvements in student achievement, garnering recognition for the school.
Board's Confidence
Mark Sanchez, the Board President, stated, "We chose Mr. Garcia because of his past experience with San Francisco, his strong track record as a superintendent, and his understanding of the challenges our district faces." The district has faced hurdles such as declining enrollment, prompting initiatives like the small schools program to address these issues. Garcia's leadership is expected to align with these priorities.
Community Involvement
The selection process involved input from parents and the community. More than a thousand surveys and several meetings helped define the criteria for the new leader. Garcia’s educational background includes a BA in political science from Claremont Men's College, an MA in education from Claremont Graduate School, and an administrative degree from California State University, Fullerton.
Financial Stewardship
Garcia's experience in managing one of the nation’s largest districts, Clark County, provides hope that he will be an effective steward of financial resources in San Francisco. The district faces pressure to meet No Child Left Behind standards, requiring careful allocation of funds amidst California's broader educational challenges.
Future Outlook
Six of the seven board members voted in favor of Garcia's appointment, with one requesting more time to decide. Garcia is set to take office on July 16, 2007, and there is optimism that his leadership will enhance the district's educational landscape.
This strategic appointment underscores the district’s commitment to overcoming challenges and advancing educational excellence.
