Let me tell you about someone here that means quite a lot in the whole picture, actually she might even be painting that picture to begin with. I am talking about Jane Russo, the Superintendent of the Santa Ana Unified School District. The Superintendent is like a CEO, the master and commander of a school district. In this case, she is in charge of a 500 million dollar annual budget and over seven billion in land assets. Santa Ana is no mom’ pop shop. Unlucky for her, just like a CEO, if something is going wrong she is to blame.
Lets get to know her a little: She is the first female Superintendent in Santa Ana, a good milestone considering the district has been around for 130 years. She worked in the Santa Ana school district for twenty years prior to her current role. She has a broad level of experience and education and claims to devote herself to the prosperity of the district.
In the following video she partners up with ‘THINK Together’, an organization devoted to maintaining after school programs in Southern California. In the video she gives a basic, I mean basic, picture of the Santa Ana district, definitely NOT mentioning the serious issues that are dampening the area.
I have posted a link that gives an in depth biography of her noting her worthy accomplishments. Be sure to search her name in the Google machine, you might find a few haters…
