Houston School Board Selects New Superintendent

On Wednesday, board members of the Houston Independent School District gathered to conditionally approve and announce their choice for the new school superintendent. Richard Carranza is currently the head of the San Francisco Unified School system, and has acquired an interesting track record there in terms of stressing under-served areas, and raising teacher salaries and while also developing new evaluation systems. More on his background and work was profiled as San Francisco’s KGO-News profiled his impending move to Houston.
