New School Superintendent Named

Valeria Silva, the current chief academic officer of the St. Paul Public Schools, has been named as the new Superintendent of the public school system. She has been the Director of English Language Learner Programs, and principal at both Adams Spanish Immersion School and Dayton's Bluff Elementary. She began her career as a teacher in St. Paul's public schools.

Her start date as superintendent is still to be negotiated, but it should happen relatively quickly.
