CONGRATULATIONS TO RAQUEL REEDY. THE ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD WEDNESDAY NIGHT OFFICIALLY HIRED REEDY AS THE DISTRICT’S PERMANENT SUPERINTENDENT. THAT CAME IN A CLOSED SESSION FOR THE BOARD.
THE ONLY BOARD MEMBER VOTING AGAINST REEDY’S HIRE WAS PEGGY MULLER-ARAGON. SHE SAID THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INVOLVED IN THE DECISION. HOWEVER, MANY TEACHERS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WANTED REEDY AS SUPERINTENDENT.
REEDY WAS NAMED ACTING SUPER LAST SUMMER AFTER LUIS VALENTINO RESIGNED. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS REEDY’S CONTRACT RUNS THROUGH 2018 AND HAS HER EARNING 240-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. SHE’S THE THIRD SUPERINTENDENT FOR APS IN THREE YEARS.
