OPINION (CBM) – Cindy Marten is the superintendent of San Diego Unified School District and has been nominated by President Joe Biden to be Deputy Secretary, the number two position in the Department of Education. In her current role as the leader of the second largest school district in California she is responsible for educating about 100,000 K-12 students, including 7 % that are African American.

Marten will serve under Dr. Miguel Cardona, Biden’s choice for Secretary of Education. In choosing Cardona who is Connecticut’s Commissioner of Education, Biden is keeping his campaign promise to appoint a public school educator to this Cabinet position. Only seven years ago both nominees were elementary school principals and if they are approved by the U.S. Senate, they will become the country’s top education officials.

SAN DIEGO We can all look back and remember at least one great teacher who made an impact on our lives. In this Zevely Zone, I went to Mount Hope where community members celebrated the Centennial Birthday of a legendary teacher. We were met by a crowd of people singing Happy Birthday to 100-year-old Mrs. Lelya Sampson.

Not many people will celebrate 100 birthdays, especially with fanfare like this. Mrs. Sampson became a teacher in 1947 and gave her heart and soul to students at San Diego Unified School District. I just feel good doing it. It makes me happy, said Mrs. Sampson who retired in 1976.
SAN DIEGO
The recent announcement that San Diego Supt. Cindy Marten was tapped to become the next deputy U.S. Education secretary drew widespread praise among policymakers and educators, who say Marten has championed equity within schools.
But some local parents, community members and the NAACP San Diego are criticizing the choice, saying Marten has not reduced racial disparities in schools for Black and Latino children and that her failure to reopen schools for 98% of San Diego Unified students has caused students to fall behind.
For the record:
8:07 PM, Jan. 29, 2021This story says the San Diego Unified School District suspension rate for Black students in the 2018-19 school year was unchanged from 2013, when Cindy Marten took the helm. The suspension rate in 2018-19 was 1.5 percentage points lower than in 2013.
