Salt Lake City school board members have chosen a new interim superintendent. He is expected to lead the district “for a few months” as the board searches for a permanent replacement.
Martin Bates, a former superintendent of Granite School District, will begin leading the district Wednesday.
The board placed previous Superintendent Timothy Gadson III on leave and offered him a severance payment in July, though he was ultimately moved into a consulting role during a meeting on Sept. 23 after he sought mediation. Bates, who started working in education 30 years ago as a special education and math teacher, will start Wednesday. He graduated from Highland High School and has raised eight children, who all attended school in Salt Lake City.
“I continually hope that you as board members will recognize the damage you do to public trust and employee morale when you are not open and transparent with major decisions like this,” Harman said. That hope, he added, is diminishing.
