New Haven Unified School District Board of Education Reception for Dr. Smith

Reception to Honor Dr. Smith as New Superintendent, Tuesday, August 22, 4:30 pm The New Haven Unified School District Board of Education is delighted to invite you to a reception in honor of Dr. Arlando Smith's inaugural Board meeting as Superintendent. For the past four years, the District has utilized a "co-superintendency" model with Dr. Smith, the Chief Academic Officer, and Mr. Varadarajan, the Chief Business Officer, together charting the course of the District.  In the fall of 2016, the Board decided to move towards a more conventional superintendency structure.  An extensive, nation-wide search was initiated which resulted in Dr. Smith being chosen to lead the District forward. Please join us in welcoming our new superintendent at the Boardroom of the Educational Services Center, located at 34200 Alvarado Niles Road, Union City.   More information regarding the event can be found here . -- Sunil Sethi  /  REALTOR,  Broker, MBA, CPA(inactive), GREEN Sunil Sethi Re...
