The Cupertino Union School Districtâs budget director has left his post to become the superintendent of a nearby district.
Jeff Bowman started his new job leading the Orchard School District in San Jose at the beginning of the month after over a dozen years in CUSD. Akur Varadarajan is currently serving as the interim chief business officer while the district looks for a permanent replacement.
Staff will likely start reviewing applications within the next couple of weeks, Associate Superintendent of Human Resources Leslie Mains said. In the meantime, she said CUSD is lucky to have Varadarajan, who has been an interim CBO in other Bay Area districts, adding that having him on board will give CUSD time to carefully vet candidates.
