Last night the Board officially approved the contract for a new Superintendent of the San Carlos School District, Dr. Craig Baker. You can read the press release here.
I’m very excited about the decision, and having spent some time with Dr. Baker, I’m confident he will be a great leader for our school district. He is currently the Executive Director at the Gardner Center at Stanford University, and he has also been the Executive Director at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. He has had 22 years experience in public education as a teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent, and had a stint as a School Board member, spending two years on the Redwood City School District Board of Trustees.
He has deep experience in education and a collaborative and communication-oriented leadership style which I believe will be a great fit for this community. I believe he will work extremely well with our existing District staff, principals, teachers, and other employees.
We certainly have our share of challenges and opportunities ahead this next year, but I believe that under Dr. Baker’s leadership, we’ll continue our track record of success. Please join me in welcoming him to our district!
