Some time ago, Scottsdale School Superintendent Dr. John Baracy announced that he would be retiring this coming October. Last night, the SUSD school board voted to appoint Katy Cavanagh and David Peterson as joint interim co-superintendents.
I support this decision as I think it will take some time to find the right candidate to fill this position. Our school system has been very lucky to have Dr. Baracy refocus the energies of the school district and provide a collaborative environment. The Scottsdale school district consists of 33 schools and is ranked among the highest in Arizona. Student test scores are high, parents are involved, and there’s an expectation for improvement to continue, even as budgets are being tested by increasing costs and reduced funding.
Having worked with both Katy and David, on technology initiatives, school bond budgets, and special education improvements, I agree with that they will be very complementary to each other.
