Terry Grier news

Our District SIG business meeting guest, San Diego superintendent Dr. Terry Grier, was recently the subject of a San Diego Union Tribune article.

From the article:

Terry Grier has overseen nearly a quarter-billion dollars in budget cuts since he took the helm of the San Diego school district a year ago today.

Not exactly the best way for a new leader to make friends and ingratiate himself with about 9,000 teachers and the families of 130,000 students.

Against the recommendations of his closest advisers, Grier left North Carolina for the top post with the San Diego Unified School District amid a daunting state budget crisis that has followed him to this day.

Through it all, he helped shepherd the successful passage of the Proposition S bond measure to build and repair schools, initiate several reforms that target struggling students and revamp a central office mired in inefficiency.

As a reminder, the Districts in Research and Reform SIG Business Meeting (titled, "A Conversation with Terry Grier, Superintendent of San Diego Unified School District") is taking place on Tuesday evening, April 14th, from 6:15-7:45PM, at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, in the Columbia 3 room. Hope to see you there.
