Board of Education Offers Position of Interim Superintendent To Deputy Superintendent Megan K. Reilly
LOS ANGELES (April 23, 2021) – The Board of Education unanimously decided today to offer the position of Interim Superintendent, commencing on July 1, to Deputy Superintendent Megan K. Reilly. Official action will follow at an upcoming Board meeting. The Board has full faith in Ms. Reilly’s ability to sustain the District’s efforts to support students and families and ensure a seamless transition.
Ms. Reilly has served as Deputy Superintendent of Business Services and Operations since June 2019. In that capacity, she oversees the critical business components that make our school district run: human resources, finance, facilities, transportation, information technology, school safety and others. During the pandemic, she has been integral to the success of the Grab & Go meal distribution centers, the distribution of devices and hot spots to students and educators, and meeting the complex demands of the reopening of our schools.
Ms. Reilly has a long history of service to the school district, having previously served LA Unified from 2007 to 2017 as its Chief Financial Officer. Immediately before rejoining the District, she was the chief business officer for the Santa Clara County Office of Education. She also previously served as Executive Director of Business at the Naval Postgraduate School.
