Assistant Superintendent Sandra Garcia was appointed as acting superintendent of the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District following the dismissal of German Cerda without any explanation. This sudden change, particularly with just days remaining before the school year starts, has provoked anger and confusion among parents. Many are demanding transparency regarding Cerda's firing, considering it unusual to dismiss a superintendent just eight days before the first day of school, especially since he had only been in the role for less than a year after the board fired his predecessor.
The board appointed Assistant Superintendent Sandra Garcia as acting superintendent during an emergency meeting to address the firing of superintendent German Cerda.
German Cerda was dismissed from his position Thursday night without explanation, leaving parents angry and confused so close to the start of the school year.
Parent David Williams expressed frustration over the lack of transparency surrounding the firing, stating that unless there was a significant reason, parents deserved to know why.
Cerda had been superintendent for less than a year, having been appointed after the board had also dismissed the previous superintendent.
