New SPS chief speaks about district's challenges

Описание: Seattle Public Schools officially welcomed their new superintendent, Ben Shuldiner, on Monday morning.

The appointment comes after a nearly year-long search as the district grapples with significant challenges, including an $87 million budget shortfall.

This financial strain follows a failed attempt to close 20 schools last year due to parental opposition. The district is also dealing with declining enrollment and issues with student learning outcomes.

Shuldiner, who previously served as superintendent in Lansing, Mich., is credited with boosting that district's graduation rate by 26% and attendance by 15%.
