The DeKalb County School District announced Thursday it’s chosen Rudy Crew as its sole finalist for superintendent.
Crew served as chancellor of the New York City Schools, superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools and was the state of Oregon’s first-ever chief education officer. Currently, he’s the president of Medgar Evers College in New York.
“We heard from the community that it was paramount the candidate have deep experience as an educator, an administrator and a partner to parents, teachers and students,” Board Chair Marshall Orson said in a statement. “We are excited to not only have found a finalist who meets these criteria but also has more than a quarter-century of experience in leading school districts, including a strong track record in heading two of the nation’s largest urban districts.
