Buoyed by the solid support of Measure E in the June special 29 election, the San Marino Unified School District board on Tuesday night was scheduled to take the first step toward finding a new superintendent to replace Jeff Wilson, who took a job elsewhere.
The board was to meet in a special session with Joel Shawn of USC’s Rossier School of Education, ask questions and gain insight into the process of “selecting the best path forward to identify, select and retain the next superintendent to lead the district,” according to board President Shelley Ryan. The meeting was due to begin after the Tribune’s press deadline.
Board members had agreed to delay the search until they had replaced former colleagues Corey Barberie and Julie Chan Lin, who both resigned earlier in the year. With the recent appointments of Nam Jack and Mike Killackey, the five-member board has reached full strength and will move forward in finding a successor to Wilson, who announced in April that he would become superintendent of the Claremont Unified School District.
