Trustees want community ‘to get a chance to know’ interim superintendent.
Heath Rocha, second from right, interim superintendent of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District, sits in a classroom with sophomores Nathan Polonski, Abigail Brown and Payton Steffen. Rocha, who took over the top spot after Bill Sanderson abruptly stepped down late last year, has been called the “preferred candidate” for the permanent position by one district trustee.
Dagmar Derickson, the district’s director of human resources, presented trustees at the meeting with three options: hire an external firm to conduct the search for a permanent superintendent as they did for Sanderson, have the district’s own human resources department conduct the search or directly appoint Rocha to the job.
“No doubt he is the one I would like to select, but I also want our broader community to get a chance to know him better,” Tseng said of Rocha. The board has also scheduled a “meet and greet” with Rocha for community members to get to know him better before the board’s regular meeting on Jan. 28, and will discuss the results of the survey and next steps during the meeting.
