In a statement on Monday, Superintendent Cindy Marten said she has already spoken with the San Diego Unified Board of Education to “ensure a seamless transition”
San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten has been nominated to join president-elect Joe Biden’s administration, it was announced Monday.
Biden announced his nominations for several more key administration posts, including naming Marten as his choice for Deputy Secretary of Education.
Marten was named SDUSD’s Superintendent in 2013 following a unanimous vote by the Board of Education. She previously worked as a teacher and has a 32-year career in education.
The San Diego County native Marten said in a statement Monday morning that she was “honored” by the nomination.
“Therefore, I will be leaving my post as your Superintendent, following confirmation by the United States Senate,” she said in her statement.
