Administrator shakeup at San Diego Unified

San Diego Unified has shuffled administrators, a move that the superintendent said will decentralize the district’s leadership structure and bring more resources to schools, the Union-Tribune reported.

The district named six new area superintendents, who will work closely with principals to ensure the district understands the needs of each individual school.

“It’s really allowing the schools to drive the decisions versus us as a centralized model driving that,” Superintendent Lamont Jackson told the newspaper.

The new area superintendents all held other school administrative jobs in the area. They are: Michel Cazary, Steven Dorsey, Maria Gomez, Michelle Irwin, Mitzi Moreno and Gabriel Núñez-Soria. Five more will be announced later this month.

The new area superintendents will start work July 17.
