PUSD Board To Vote On Interim Superintendent

PLEASANTON, CA — The Pleasanton Unified School District Board will vote Thursday in a closed session meeting on an interim superintendent to replace outgoing Superintendent David Haglund. They will announce their decision later that evening in the open meeting.

Haglund announced in April that he planned to leave at the end of the year and move to Southern California to be closer to his family. Initially, he said that he wanted his last day to be Aug. 1, and that he helped develop a succession plan naming Deputy Superintendent Ed Diolazo as the next interim superintendent, according to reports in Pleasanton Weekly. However, the board opted not to choose Diolazo, and posted a job opening online. When Haglund learned this, he decided to leave June 30, according to Pleasanton Weekly.

The new interim superintendent will start July 1 and will be paid a daily rate along with a monthly reimbursement stipend, according to a board staff report.

The meeting will take place Thursday at 5 p.m. at 5758 West Las Positas Boulevard. See here for the entire meeting agenda.

New superintendents are also coming to Livermore and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.
