Broad Foundation on Los Angeles Superintendent Appointment

“We offer our congratulations to Austin Beutner on being named superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District, and we thank Interim Superintendent Vivian Ekchian for her leadership the past several months. There is no more critical—and potentially transformative—job in our city right now than superintendent. Our community is counting on the superintendent to face the district’s challenges with courage and focus on what’s most important: ensuring that our schools are safe, well-resourced places to teach and learn and that all Los Angeles students can thrive and pursue their dreams.”
