The current executive director of the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, Sue Burr, 57, of Rancho Murieta, at left, has been appointed by Governor Brown to wear two hats for a total of $175K/year: that of the executive director of the State Board of Ed, and also that of educational advisor to the Governor, who abolished the former advisory office -- an 11-member group under an appointed Secretary of Education.
As reported yesterday by John Fensterwald on Educated Guess:
Burr will advise Brown on areas of education not under the authority of the State Board, including budget matters, student college readiness, teacher credentialing, early childhood education issues, and school construction, according to a press release from the governor’s office. She’ll be the chief administrator of the State Board, which oversees federal funds for K-12 education and has authority over policies relating to statewide testing, state standards, and instructional materials.
