Cindy Marten, superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, will be the nation’s next deputy education secretary.
The U.S. Senate voted 54-44 on May 11 to confirm Marten for the position. Six Republicans voted to confirm her: Sens. Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rob Portman of Ohio.
It has been almost four months since President Joe Biden’s team announced her nomination.
Marten, 54, has served as superintendent for eight years, as principal for 10 years and as a classroom teacher for 17 years. Biden’s team cited her past work as principal of Central Elementary School in City Heights and San Diego Unified’s above-average graduation rates and growth in reading test scores as reasons for nominating her.
