GuestsCindy Marten, Superintendent, San Diego Unified

San Diego's new school superintendent is not just overseeing her first year running the county's largest school district.

She is also overseeing San Diego Unified School District's transition to the new Common Core education standards. Plus, new guidelines will change how school testing is done.

This school year will mark a number of fundamental shifts for both students and teachers. On top of that, California is now funding school differently. It appears Superintendent Marten walked into one very busy school year.

A big decision awaits some voters this April as the race for San Diego County’s Supervisor District 1 seat heats up. Are you ready to vote? Check out the KPBS Voter Hub to learn about the candidates, the key issues the board is facing and how you can make your voice heard.
