The Torrance Unified School District board on Dec. 8 confirmed two administrative appointments announced from closed session.
The board introduced Dr. Alice Lee as the district’s senior director of elementary schools. Board members reviewed Dr. Lee’s background, noting her role as assistant superintendent of educational services in Ocean View School District (since March 2024), prior positions in Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified and El Segundo Unified, and academic training at UCLA. Dr. Lee thanked the board and said accepting the role felt like a ‘‘homecoming’’ after attending Torrance schools as a child.
