Print To the editor: I was initially unimpressed with the 2018 hiring of Austin Beutner as superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District. But through his handling of the pandemic and watching his humanity at work, I became a supporter of his. (“When will L.A. Unified schools get some stability at the top?” editorial, April 21) However, the problem has always been that he was not an educator, and the jury will always view his tenure as that of an educational outlier. Classroom achievements never really took off because of factors such as the teachers strike and then the pandemic. I’m certain that the stress of these events took its toll and made Beutner decide to opt out at the conclusion of his contract.
