Cortines gets nod as schools’ No. 2
- Share via
The school board Tuesday approved the hiring of Ramon C. Cortines as senior deputy superintendent -- the No. 2 position -- of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The veteran educator will leave his post as a Los Angeles deputy mayor to head day-to-day operations at the nation’s second-largest school system.
Cortines, 75, formerly headed the school districts in New York City, San Francisco and San Jose. For six months in 2000, he served as interim chief of L.A. Unified.
Cortines agreed to an at-will contract, meaning he will serve at the pleasure of Supt. David L. Brewer.
