Tehachapi Unified interim superintendent made permanent
By The Bakersfield Californian
The interim superintendent at Tehachapi Unified School District has been made permanent, the Tehachapi News has reported.
Lisa Gilbert was appointmented at a board meeting Tuesday night. She served before as the district's chief administrator of instructional services and technology, a director of curriculum, and an assistant principal.
"We believe she has the leadership skills to continue our path toward a distinguished school district," Board President Mary Graham said in a statement.
Gilbert stepped into the leadership role briefly in 2007 when the board fired then-superintendent Marian Stephens. Then in October, she stepped in again when Richard Swanson resigned mid-year.
