A school superintendent who won Pennsylvania superintendent of the year and has experience in both wealthy and poor districts will be Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro’s nominee for secretary of education.
A school superintendent who won Pennsylvania superintendent of the year and has experience in both the wealthiest and poorest districts will be Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro's nominee for secretary of education, the Democrat said Monday.
At Reading, Mumin won superintendent of the year from the superintendents' statewide trade association. Brian Buerke, who joined the school board a year after Mumin came to Reading and eventually became school board president, said Mumin helped straighten out the district's financial mess, negotiate new contracts for staff and instill confidence that the district was headed in the right direction.
In a statement, Rich Askey, president of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, called Mumin an "outstanding choice" for secretary of education, and an "extraordinary leader and a committed educator." He'll come to the Department of Education at a time when public school funding in Pennsylvania is under a microscope, and found in recent years to be among the nation’s most inequitable, particularly for districts with heavy populations of Black and Latino students.
