Milwaukee Board of School Directors Statement Regarding an Interim Superintendent of Schools
On Monday, July 25, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors voted to appoint Mr. Eduardo Galvan to the position of Interim Superintendent of Schools.
“Having an interim superintendent in place before the start of the school year is key to being ready for students and staff in September,” said Milwaukee Board of Directors President Marva Herndon. “The board is confident in Mr. Galvan’s leadership to move the district forward as we prepare for the year ahead.”
The Board intends to engage a firm to lead a robust national search for a permanent superintendent. The district plans to seek input from the community and other MPS stakeholders
