Superintendent announces candidate for secondary ELA and performing arts supervisor
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Santora introduced Thomas Duncan as the district candidate for secondary supervisor of English language arts and performing arts; Duncan comes from Newark Public Schools and previously taught for nearly two decades in Lodi. The appointment awaits formal approval by the board.
Superintendent Dr. Santora announced on June 9 that Thomas Duncan is the district’s candidate to serve as secondary supervisor of English language arts and performing arts, pending board approval.
Dr. Santora said Duncan "will serve when approved as the secondary supervisor of English language arts and performing arts for our district," and noted that Duncan comes from the Newark Public School District where he currently serves as a supervisor of English language arts at Newark Vocational High School. Dr. Santora also said Duncan spent nearly two decades teaching high‑school English in the Lodi Public School District and "wowed the entire interview panel."
The superintendent described the hiring process as taking place over a few months and spoke positively about the candidate’s fit for the district. No formal vote to appoint Duncan was recorded during the June 9 meeting; Dr. Santora’s announcement presented the candidate for upcoming approval according to normal personnel procedures.
If approved in a subsequent personnel action, Duncan would begin work in the district in a supervisory role overseeing secondary English language arts and performing arts programs. The board's personnel resolutions later in the meeting included a batch of routine personnel approvals; the transcript indicates some specific recusals on athletic appointments but does not record a formal approval vote for Duncan on June 9.
