The CCUSD Board of Education announced the departure of Superintendent Dr. Joshua Arnold, effective Tuesday. At the one-year mark, the board has determined that Dr. Arnold and the Board do not share the same vision for the leadership of the District.
During his tenure at CCUSD, Dr. Arnold set in motion several progressive, innovative initiatives. These include plans to install system-wide air conditioning; demolish the non-operational swimming pool; pursue total inclusion of special education students into the mainstream classroom, and establish Makerspace classrooms in each of the elementary schools. We are committed to pursuing these projects in the coming years.
This past year, Dr. Arnold also upgraded CCUSD’s brand and image, including an extensive #CULVERPRIDE social media campaign.
“We thank Dr. Arnold for these and his many other contributions to the district,” a school board member said.
The CCUSD Board of Education will begin a search for a new superintendent immediately. As in past searches, we will request the community’s participation in the search process by asking for your input regarding experience, characteristics and qualifications for CCUSD’s next superintendent. We will keep you apprised of the process and progress.
A special meeting will be held as soon as possible later this week to appoint an Interim Superintendent.
“We wish Dr. Arnold well in his future endeavors,” the school board member said.
