San Francisco schools officially have a new superintendent. Maria Su was voted into the role at a San Francisco Unified School District Board Meeting in the city Tuesday night.
The vote did not pass unanimously; Commissioners Kevine Boggess and Jenny Lam voted against Su's appointment along with the student representative on the board. Some parents tell KTVU they are hopeful that this new leadership will get the district moving in the right direction, while others had several questions about the new choice.
Board President Matt Alexander spoke in support of Su's appointment, saying he was grateful someone with Su's business acumen and experience running a government agency was willing to step in to help calm the chaos that SF has faced over the years. Parents expressed frustration at the board's vote to allow former Superintendent Matt Wayne to resign from his role with a severance package worth over half a million dollars.
