The Oakland Unified School District has suspended its search for a new superintendent, a decision that some board members say has caught them by surprise, reported the Mercury News<\/a>.<\/p>\n The decision, confirmed on Tuesday by Jennifer Brouhard, the school board president, follows the ousting of longtime superintendent Kyla-Johnson Trammell last year. Brouhard said the board will focus instead on addressing the district\u2019s budget issue, with interim Superintendent Denise Saddler likely serving until the fall.<\/p>\n The decision, which some board members say they were informed of through a teachers\u2019 union meeting, raised further concerns about transparency from district leaders. It may also deepen political tensions within the board as the district balances its budget with a tentative deal with the teachers\u2019 union.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing has been done to find a permanent superintendent,\u201d said Mike Hutchinson, a board member. \u201cInstead, the board leadership unilaterally began signaling to people that the search had been paused.\u201d<\/p>\n EdSource is dedicated to covering in California and nationally.
