No. 2 administrator to be superintendent when Ackerman exits
The Examiner reporting today that SF Schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman will be replaced by her second-in-command.
“Gwen Chan, deputy superintendent of San Francisco’s public schools, will take the helm of the district in March or April and will stay in the top post through at least June 2007, officials confirmed Wednesday.”
“The board plans to conduct a national search for a permanent superintendent during the 2006-07 school year, and Chan may be considered a candidate for the job. She will wait to see how her new job goes before deciding whether to apply for the permanent post, she said.”
“Board member Mark Sanchez, who frequently butted heads with Ackerman, said he thought Chan would be able to work with all seven board members. Ackerman said Wednesday that Chan was a good choice.”
