Assistant Superintent to retire, new hire approved by school board

| |
Steve Cary, assistant superintendent of business services at Upland Unified School District, is retiring.

During last night's board meeting the school board voted to accept the employment and contract of Deo Persaud as the district's new assistant superintendent of business services, effective July 1.

Hiring Persaud was a culmination of an interview and selection process that included stakeholder panel interview, cabinet/board interview and extensive reference checks.

"It was a horse race. We had two really strong candidates," said Superintendent Gary Rutherford during the board meeting. "I'm glad to know the district attracts people of that caliber."

Persaud is currently the Associate Superintendent of the Operational and Business Services Division of the Fresno Unified School District, a position he has held since 2006. 

Prior to that time, he served as Executive Director of Purchasing and Technology Services in
Dallas Independent School District for seven years.  Other experiences include administration of a federal grant for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and twenty years of active service in the US Air Force and Air Force Reserves.
